'Sword of Allah' - The Maghreb Trilogy Book 2

[James Marinero]

Well, I finally got it launched - on time for once. I'm getting better - both at the writing and at the myriad other tasks surrounding the process.

James, I think it could be construed as an insensitive title, especially to someone of the Muslim faith (which I am not).

 

[Marc Joan]

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

 

[David Newrick]

Well done James. Keep us posted.

As indeed could The Bible. There are plenty of films, books and videos of that title out there. How about 'Satanic Verses' for a title? 'The Sword of Allah' is in fact the soubriquet that was given to Muhammad's army commander. He was an amazing general. There's no hope if authors (or apprentices like me) start getting sensitive about titles!

fare enough. Good luck.

Best of luck, James!

Good luck from me too . It reminds me a bit of a James Bond script with a topical twist. Keep us updated.

It could equally have been The Drawn Sword of Allah...as a title for a fighting commander. Sensitive. Definitely. But that is a designation that's been used in real life, as in Frederick Forsyth's techno-thriller about Saddam...The Fist of God, about the super-gun.
