Teenager Charlie West went to sleep in his own bed one night only to wake up in a torture chamber where Islamo-fascist terrorists were planning to kill him. Ever since, he’s been on the run from both the terrorists and the police. Now he’s trapped in a hellishly brutal prison—and time is ticking away toward an unimaginable disaster only he can prevent.

It’s time for PJTV’s Klavan on the Culture again. And I know what you’re thinking. You look at my fabulous lifestyle and sigh, “Gee, I’d like to be a pundit too!” But hold the phone!
