Mistaken Allegiance

"Mistaken Allegiance" is a mystery thriller with a dash of romance that keeps the reader intensely absorbed till the end. The story takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of platonic love of the protagonist, who is enchanted by the ethereal beauty of the woman who lures him into accepting a lucrative offer of a job that has too many occupational hazards.
 
The rigorous military training the protagonist underwent at the terrorists' camps in Baghdad and Yemen transforms him into a versatile combatant to anticipate any threat and thwart it. His sharp grasping faculty eases the protracted process of learning and helps him emerge as a resilient individual of unrivalled skill. As a Senior Intelligence Officer of a Government Agency, his overwhelming desire to vanquish the enemies out of his fierce determination to protect the lives of the individuals and their assets prevails whenever he confronts threats from the militants. He is invariably fortunate to escape, by the skin of his teeth, the bullets fired at him by marksmen, who are specially assigned to liquidate him physically. The career he chooses is what he has in mind from the beginning but vastly different from what he is forced to embrace by the circumstances.
 
Some of the events the Author has narrated in the novel have actually occurred in different contexts and so the places and some names of the characters and dates of episodes have been changed to suit the story.
