Description

In the tales of war of these great Moro warriors lie the key to global peace.

Almost 600 years ago, at the southernmost islands of what is now known as the Philippines, a rich Muslim kingdom known as the Sulu sultanate was established. The people of the sultanate traded their pearls and other products which were much sought-after by the Chinese, the Malays, Arabs, Indians, and other merchants. They lived in relative peace with their neighbors. A century later, Western Christian global powers came one after the other, to lay claim on the islands. For more than 300 years, the global powers were kept at bay by arguably the greatest warriors in history – the Moro warriors. This novel tells of the amazing and true account of the Moros (Muslims who lived in the Sulu and Mindanao Sultanates) and their fierce encounters with Spain and the US, the Muslim past of the now Christian- dominated Philippines, and a critical discussion on the worldwide history of Christian-Muslim interaction and conflict – all interwoven within an intelligent and exciting modern-day action-adventure story.
