This adventure story is set in revolutionary Iran,

between February 9th and March 3rd, 1979, long

before the hostage crisis began. I ve tried to make

it seem as real as possible - but it is fiction, peopled

with imaginary characters, and many places, and no

reference to any living person or company that was

or is part of the era exists or is intended. Of course,

those shadows of the opposing giants, HIH Shah

Mohammed Pahlavi - and his father Reza Shah

- and of Imam Khomeini that are cast upon my

imaginary characters are a vital part of this story.

They, personally, are not portrayed, though I have

tried to present an accurate but fictional picture of

those times, of the different kinds of people who

endured them, the sort of opinions~t,hat existed and

would have been expressed, but nothing herein is

meant, by me, in disrespect.

This is a story, not as things really happened, but

as I imagined came to pass within those twenty-four

days.. ~
