In 2014 Alexandria, Egypt, history professor Omar El-Mohammedi is shattered when his once-promising son, Nasser, returns-not alive, but wrapped in silence and unanswered questions.Was Nasser truly a terrorist, radicalized by faith, or a casualty of a fractured world that rarely seeks to understand? With no time to mourn, CIA agent Matt demands that Omar decode his son’s journal, possibly the only way to stop a looming terrorist attack. As he unravels its brutal passages, Omar confronts unforgiving family revelations and his failings as a father.Amid the aftermath of 9/11, the ensuing wars, and the Arab Spring, The Gales of Alexandria follows those left behind. His sister turns to faith, his fiancée to activism, and his best friends, who left for a new life in America, are caught in shifting tides. Meanwhile, Matt, torn between duty and doubt, and Risa, a Jewish woman in a failing marriage to Nasser’s best friend, find themselves drawn into Nasser’s fate.The Gales of Alexandria explores politics, faith, and family-a story rooted in culture and history, unfolding with the pulse of a thriller. Why do we stray from our ideals? Can reconciliation emerge from loss, or are some wounds too deep to heal?
