Book excerpt: "White King Rising" is the sequel to the suspense novel, "White King and the Doctor"--written by veteran actress Lee Kessler. Inspired by actual events--and utilizing her experience portraying real people--Ms. Kessler has connected the dots of our current war on terror to reveal a different picture. Projecting the likely whereabouts and activities of the actual mastermind of Al-Qaeda, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, she almost prophetically dramatizes plausibly where he is, what he is doing, and how he plans to bring the United States down from within. In this shocking and suspenseful race to save us from Zawahiri's doomsday scenario, the fictitious CIA analyst James Mikolas, and his Grandmaster chess champion partner, Andy Weir, are now joined by Brian Washington Carver, a football playing boy from the "Hood."
