ISIS: Our Children at Risk is a lesson learned by way of a novel. ISIS, the novel portrays the true-to-life exploits of ISIS zealots who submit to a seventh-century Islamic sect that many Muslim scholars regard as a "cult."

This book examines the frightening use of social media and propaganda to recruit young people of all nationalities, ethnicity, and socioeconomic strata into the ISIS cult, or to become undercover operatives.

ISIS: Our Children at Risk, uses the stories of Fatima Baloch, a young woman of British citizenship, who is recruited into MI6 (British Military Intelligence) to become a field agent in the ISIS capital city of Raqqa, Syria. Fraught with tragic complications and danger, she meets a young CIA operative, Buraq, who is a fourth-generation US citizen, born of Jordanian-American parents. Through circumstances beyond their control, each must survive in the midst of the dangerous and destructive Syrian conflict. Buraq and Fatima witness unspeakable ISIS atrocities as they gather information about this devastating cult.

This novel is their story, told alongside the stories of other Syrian "operatives" and ISIS recruits.

Autorenporträt

Forsythe lived in Saudi Arabia with his family for a period of ten years. Near the end of his contract, the Saudi Secret police arrested Dr. Forsythe, along with three of his col-leagues. The charge was that of "Jewish Spy." It was touch-and-go for a time but, after seven months of house arrest, the charge was mysteriously dropped. The experience must have had a delayed impact on the author's writing. Following that experience, writing "spy" fiction seemed to be a natural progression and was the catalyst for the three-book "spy novel" series called Teacher, Soldier, Spy. The three books in the series are The Operative, Forks in the Road, and The Afghan Bear Trap, all published by Quinn Press. The author's work experience has been long and var-ied: a stonemason's helper, six years in the military, an edu-cator, and a clinical psychologist. Dr. Forsythe is a physical-fitness nut, with a rabid exercise regimen. He runs races; does daily power yoga; and recently reached his lifelong goal of the Marine Corps maximum for pull-ups, twenty reps. The author has taken up rope climbing ... much to his wife's chagrin. This very senior citizen ascends and de-scends a fifteen-foot rope-hanging from a tree in his backyard-twenty times, every other day. This crazy activity has found its way into his novel, ISIS: Our Children at Risk. The author has taken great pleas-ure in spiking the ISIS novel with characters who were cre-ated for his Teacher, Soldier, Spy trilogy. Dr. Forsythe received his doctorate in the field of counseling psychology from the University of Montana. Dale recently retired as a licensed clinical psychologist.
