About this book

The Black Knight is a science-fiction novel by writer Mounir Belhouan set in the second half of the twenty-first century. In this future, the Arab-Islamic Union faces existential threats, and forms a secret security agency with a scientific character called Office No. 21. This office's work is not limited to confronting traditional security threats but goes beyond to tackle supernatural creatures and paranormal phenomena in other worlds. The novel relies on an exceptional team of young people representing an elite from various Arab and Islamic countries, each with unique expertise in a specific field. From a nanotechnology engineer from Bahrain and a space expert from Turkey to an AI specialist from Syria and many more, these heroes unite in a mission to save the world. The story begins in the dense Amazon forests in 2077, where the team discovers that the coming danger is not human. They face strange entities that do not belong to their world, and a hellish creature coming from the depths of distant planets. The Black Knight is not just a character.
