The second sun

the long version

"Azadeh Pahlavi is alone in the world. Having seen her father brutally murdered and her village torn apart by terrorists, she now finds herself outcast. Without heavenly help, she will surely not live to fulfill her mission on the earth. Can she find her way to safety despite the buffetings of Satan? Sam Brighton, a member of the Delta Forces special unit that arrived too late to save Azadeh's village from destruction, is haunted by the continual horrors he observes in his work. Although he despairs of being able to make a real difference, his belief in the cause of freedom keeps him going."--BOOK JACKET.
