This is a story with an adventure theme. At the first of the book, the author notes that the characters and events are imaginary and any resemblance to real people, is coincidental. The subject of the story is about the third secret of Fatima, which according to the ayatollahs is a plan for a new crusade by the oil-thirsty West with the aim of destroying Islam. The protagonist, Kerne, is hired by a wealthy businessman to obtain the full text of Fatima's prophecy from the Vatican archives. But his courageous efforts lead to the kidnapping of his daughter Tess by the Iranians. He tracks his daughter to Alamut Castle in the Elburz Mountains, and decides to save her with the help of Soviet veterans. In the ups and downs of the story, the author uses the title of religious events and real characters (e.g., Hussain, Fatima, Khomeini, Moharram, and …) to advance his story.
