O knihe

Born as they were to privilege, the five
Gordon siblings-Edward, Elizabeth, Francis, Cynthia, and
Susan-knew in their youth the joy of life together at the
family summer estate on Lake Superior in Minnesota.
Throughout those years, the closeness and the commitment to
each other became the cornerstone of their existence.

Now, as they gather in their old family home, the
two men and three women wonder if this will be the last time
fate will allow them to enjoy each other's company and
conversation. Each has succeeded and moved on to careers
within the framework of the contemporary world of politics,
greed, and war. But Edward's position in covert intelligence
with the Secret Service places him at extreme risk. During
the family gathering, he receives two cryptic messages: "We
will come for you in eighteen hours," and "We will meet in
Samarkand."
The intense bonds between the Gordons
have never weakened, but they are tested to the extreme when
they are informed that Edward has been captured by the
Taliban and is being held in the mountains of Afghanistan.
This final challenge threatens their deep family connections.
