Description
Hijacked! is the story of Alix Kerensky, a Jewish Russian émigré, who sets sail on an SS Infinity’s “Voyage of Discovery”—along with 250 American college students. In this love story and psychological “thriller,” the unthinkable occurs when the Georgetown University teaching ship is hijacked by Abu Ghazi and the men of Jabal an-Nar, a group of Palestinian terrorists. Hijacked!—a complex tale of Middle East politics, romance, and adventure—chronicles a momentous period in American history. It is a eulogy for an era. We travel from Spring, 2000, a time of American optimism and innocence, to September 15, 2001, four days after Osama bin Laden’s attack on New York’s World Trade Center—a time when Americans came to realize that they were facing an enemy more elusive, a war more intractable, and a world far more dangerous, than any they had imagined.
