The lives of women in Iran, under the scourge of 1400 years of Islam, are about to change. The transition began with a nine-year-old maid's daughter and a clergyman's wife. They both investigated Muhammad from his very roots and proved him to be a criminal and a pedophile. As Persian women struggled to break loose from the misogynistic chain of Islam, one man knew that the ayatollahs in Iran had build on a volcano and that volcano was about to erupt. That man was the Solutionist, and this is his saga. The Solutionist is a supernatural being and a wonder of creation - born and reborn to suffer, survive and thrive. He fought in his past two lives for those who had been divided, misguided, and exploited. He is back to liberate those women whose daily lives have become a struggle against the prejudice and patriarchy of Islam. The Solutionist galvanizes them, and they rally behind him to overcome their 1400-year-old ordeal. The saga commences in 605 BC on the desolate Persian plateau, where Ahriman (Satan), receives a celestial warning from Ahuramazda.
"In this stimulating tale of enlightenment Cyrus Kayvan explores a genre that not only condemns demagogy and dogma, but adds a science-fiction twist to it. The author paints a mirror image of bigots and the exploiters in the beasts of the Demonic Council as the rats and foxes, and illustrates Mecca as Ahriman's temple, where Satan deliver his infamous speech and reveals his evil strategy. Under Ahriman's command, three kinds of creatures live in the Underworld, each representing a group of people on Earth in their past and future lives.
The secrecy and hypocrisy of the mullahs, and their liaison to colonialism are deftly exposed. From the sordid prisons of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the sumptuous palaces of the Ayatollahs, from desolate deserts of Persian Plateau to sulfurous infernos of the Underworld, the reader is swept along on an amazing journey which races toward its climactic end."
