Tariq Khan invites readers on a geographical, historical, political, and personal journey in his riveting memoir, The Looking Glass Voyage. A Pukhtoon from the Peshawar region of northwest Pakistan, Mr. Khan lived through the historical events of the 1950s and 60s in Pakistan, and he documents the unrest of those years as he experienced them as a young man. Tales of his family and school years reflect the circumstances of the times and reveal an ambitious student committed to his loved ones and possessing valuable physical and intellectual aptitudes. The memoir chronicles Mr. Khan's medical school studies and preparations for establishing his practice. His experiences in various cities and hospital settings shine a light on the cultures he lived in as an adult-from Saudi Arabia to England to the UAE. Accompanied by stories of an adventurous youth, a romantic liaison, and an arranged marriage, this autobiography will educate and entertain readers. In Mr. Khan's own words, The Looking Glass Voyage gives a first-hand glimpse into times past and the significant happenings of that era: "I was witness to great events in the history of the world in real-time: the dismemberment of my country of birth, and the formation of Bangladesh, in 1971; experiencing Iran in the heady days, at the peak years of the Shah of Iran ..." This "witness" is engaging and welcoming to readers of all ages and backgrounds as he makes history, his story."

Autorenporträt
Hello Readers In my 37-year journey through aviation-as a pilot, CEO, and Director of Operations-I've witnessed the unimaginable. Flying over the Atlantic and Pacific, especially during long hours at night and close to dawn, I've encountered unexplained phenomena that challenged my understanding of reality. Strange voices breaking the silence of the skies, mysterious objects defying physics, and spiritual sensations left me questioning the nature of existence itself. These moments opened doors to more profound thought, bridging the gap between the physical world and the spiritual realm, and continue to inspire the metaphysical elements in my stories. In addition to aviation, I've had the rare experience of working as a private contractor in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan, where I supported NATO forces. There, I came face-to-face with death, witnessing the harsh realities of conflict up close. These experiences have left an indelible mark on my life and perspective, and they resonate through the themes of fear, survival, and the fragility of life in my writing. The emotional toll of these experiences, the fear, the relief, and the sorrow, is something I strive to capture in my writing to share the human side of these conflicts. Throughout my life, I've encountered unknown realities that most would find hard to believe. Whether through the horrors of war, the mysteries of the skies, or the complex stories of ancient history, my writing reflects the authentic, sometimes terrifying, sometimes wondrous experiences I've lived. These experiences, the people I've met, the places I've been, and the emotions I've felt are not just inspirations for my stories-they are the very fabric from which my stories are woven. My stories are not just fiction-they reflect my life, revealing truths that challenge the very nature of existence.
