Omar's Choice draws us into the shadowy role of ISIS in the bloody Syrian conflict. The story, begun in The Syrian, Damascus Street and An Ambassador to Syria, follows Omar, now a member of ISIS and John, a CIA operative, as they unleash a nightmare across Syria. In this ancient place of constant war and destruction, Sultan lays bare the consequences and dangers, both present and future, brought on by the West's forever wars across the Middle East. "An extraordinary quartet of books. Normally, it is the characters, the people, their flesh and blood, their hopes fulfilled and dashed that drive a story. While this is certainly true here, Sultan makes the location and the backdrop characters as important as any on two legs. This is a rare accomplishment indeed. Bravo!" -Jack Rice, ex-CIA officer "Sultan skillfully places fictional and real characters in actual places and scenarios and weaves through past and present US involvement in the Middle East. She demonstrates through the storytelling of fictional characters and real events how the US's faulty and hypocritical policies have orchestrated bizarre alliances in support of and opposition to its declared war on terror. Sultan brings to life the horrendous outcomes of US involvement, including the rise of ISIS." -Ali R. Abootalebi, Professor of Middle East and Global Politics
