Baklava

Foreword

Allesandra, a Greek Intelligence member, has her hands full trying to track down the world's most wanted anarchist, who'd been wrecking utter havoc on a global scale, and who'd decided on a cat-and-mouse game with the top minds in the intelligence world.

"The Horsemen". Fascinated, she turned her attention back to glimpse the foreword of the two-inch book that she had clasped, and flipped onwards past the three-page index, to chapter one again - after absorbing the gory and unsettling front cover. "No wonder it was banned" Allesandra whispered. The glossy cover depicted a peculiarly sinister oil painting, that would be utterly blasphemous in religious circles. An upright and worn looking Bible - to the left of the image, was leaning against a tattered looking Torah, which in turn, had leant against the nearest of four wild horses - at a precarious angle - seemingly riding out of a smouldering crater. To the right, a Koran had been leaning inward against the fourth wild-eyed horse - creating the impression that holy manuscripts were all kept upright, only by these wild horses, which were about to dart away, sending the holy manuscripts plummeting into the orange smouldering crater. "Missing From Nicea" was written in what was supposed to be blood, gushing from the bottom of the Bible, over towards the headquarters of the World Bank.
