Marwan by Aram Schefrin
Fiction
Click the arrow below to listen to the first episode of this free audio book:
How did an Egyptian city planner, a Yemeni religious fanatic, a boy from the United Arab Emirates who worshipped sex, not Allah, and a young student of aircraft design who went to a Christian school in Lebanon- four very different men with very different ideas- get involved in flying the 9/11 planes? How did the plot develop, and who developed it?
"Marwan," a novel by Aram Schefrin, puts the reported facts together and fills in the details- from the group's first coming together in Hamburg, Germany, to the moments before the jets they were to hijack took off. You'll come to know the participants, and how they were motivated, what their personal lives were like and the roles they played in the plan. You will learn to know them as people- not simply as "terrorists"- because, as the author sees it, you have to understand your enemies if you want to defend yourself.

This is CRAP. Fiction of a fiction. The Official Story of 9/11 is a fiction, and this adds on. PURE speculation, muddle the waters and incur people into thinking it DID happen like that. Atta worked for the CIA.By: Frozen Alex
I have been trying to get into this book, but for some reason unknown to me I am getting the chapters cut of. The feed will tell me how long the episode is but I will be lucky to get two minuets out of 20 before the filed cuts out.By: Evo
Folks, In theory, I've fixed some of the issues. Aram re-recorded episodes and sent those to us some time ago, and we managed to flub them up big time. I'm going to download all of the chapters myself and check them, but I'm hoping we have them right. The only thing I notice right off the bat that I'm not happy with? The "serialization" seems to have been removed by Aram. So instead of the consistent branding of intros and outros like *all* other books on our site has, these start with "Chapter 1". Sorry, but we deal with what the author gives to us. If any of you see a problem with this book or any of the chapters, please contact me at evo at this domain dot com, please.
