The Terrorist by Harun is an action-packed, edge-of-your-seat, political thriller that grabs you by the collar and never lets go. Brad Hackman, CIA interrogator, translator, and Middle-East expert licks his wounds when The Company sidelines him after one of his waterboarding interrogations goes very wrong. Unclear about his future, Brad retreats to Dubai to escape the pressure, and meets Cyra, a beautiful Persian woman working on her Masters at Columbia. Romance is not far away, but neither is danger, when the two become embroiled in domestic terrorist plots and an al Qaeda sleeper cell in Queens, New York. The lovers confront, head-on, the futility of geopolitics, the value of cultural binding, and the truth that love is more powerful than affairs of state. Written in the best tradition of the politico-thriller genre, author Harun has produced a tale of intrigue that reads as if it was ripped from today's headlines. Filled with multi-dimensional characters, rich and exotic settings, and bursting with mystery and suspense, The Terrorist is a must read that will be sure to please any thriller fan, and anyone who loves a great story well told.

The Senate experience with Kavanaugh was foretold in "The Curse..." It is the story of the religious bigotry and power controlling Congress told through fiction. It begins with the strange death of Justice Sacerdozio (a facsimile of Justice Scalia) at a retreat on a ranch in far West Texas. Tommy Jon, the first Harvard law Jicarilla Apache, who served as clerk to the Justice, quickly becomes a target of the FBI as one for murder with motive. The Constitutional interpretation and philosophy were at loggerheads the moment Tommy started working for the Justice. While the plot takes you through the harrowing fearful experience of Tommy Jon not only as a suspect but being indited and tried, it unveils the conspiracy of Opus Dei and a powerful religious right organization who conspire and join together, using industrialists' dark money to control the Senate nomination process of federal judges. This book came out last November. Now that we are past the Gosuch and Kavanaugh Senate confirmation process, it is unreal, perhaps surreal how fiction can mimic facts before facts become known.

In 2004, the author, Glen Aaron, was sentenced to two years in federal prison arising out of his attorney representation of a wealthy Wall Street Journal heiress and her husband. The Prison People; The Prison Experience takes you on an interesting to unique inmates met and what it is like to be incarcerated in America. It is not an "oh poor me" book. Fascinating characters and a look at America's criminal justice system brings both humor and serious introspection about how we go about legislating crime and the retribution we require as a society.

In prison, the author was assigned Colonel George Trofimoff as his cellmate. The Colonel turned out to be the highest-ranking U.S. military officer ever convicted of spying. After initially resisting, Aaron, the author and a retired attorney, agreed to look at the Colonel's case with the hope of finding a reason to make an additional appeal. What Aaron found was a complete travesty of justice, an entrapment, although the American judiciary allowed it. For two years, an FBI agent had posed as a D.C. Russian Embassy representative in a sting operation designed to bribe and entrap the Colonel into exchanging what turned out to be a made-up story of espionage against America for the promise of a $45,000 payment by the "Russians." The resulting federal trial in Tampa railroaded the Colonel into a life prison sentence. This is the second book in The Prison Trilogy by the author and dynamically tells the story of Colonel George Trofimoff.

When Hugh Bancroft, Jr., family owner of The Wall Street Journal, died, he left his wife, Jackie Bancroft, one of the wealthiest women in America. After she built the Spencer Theater in Ruidoso, New Mexico, and paid twenty-three million in cash for it, she married her gay interior decorator, Ron Morgan, for the last fling of her life. Glen Aaron, author, was the lawyer for for Morgan and had been so for many years through multiple legal problems. As Aaron came to know Jackie, they became fast friends and she often used him as consigliore and to double check what her vast array of trust lawyers were telling her. On an extended world cruise, Jackie became suspiciously and seriously ill. It became Aaron's duty to retrieve her from the cruise trip in the middle of the southern Atlantic and get her to health care in the U.S., where she ultimately died. Her death precipitated numerous lawsuits from her heirs and Morgan, himself, who had manipulated a position of heirship. This five year intrigue ultimately led the author, Glen Aaron, to federal prison on a technicality, a path he would never have anticipated. That path evolved into The Prison Trilogy, and The Ronnie Lee and Jackie Bancroft Spencer Morgan Story is the beginning.
