A Tree in the Desert

It is not until Book Two, A Tree in the Desert, that Mohammed makes his first choice. He has labored in Babylon for four years espousing a peaceful jihad after being refreshed by a fresh Wind from the Desert. Now he must make a choice between two doors, each holding life possibilities not known by him.
He walks through the one of his choosing to find himself still in the year 2017. The world has not changed, but Mohammed is a changed man. His alliance with a Christian and a Jew through several unusual life events and dreams broadens his spiritual horizon and he finds new meaning in his Muslim faith when he joins with them in 2017 in a common endeavor to assuage the devastation of war and stand against the destruction of terrorism. At the end, Mohammed walks alone along the Euphrates between Hillah and Babylon where he faces two familiar doors.
