title: The Inquisitor and the Maiden: Caliphate (Volume 1)
author:  Michael R. Davidson 
description: Michael R. Davidson was raised in the Mid-West. Heeding President Kennedys call for more young Americans to learn Russian he studied the language, and military service took him to the White House where he served as translator for the Moscow-Washington Hotline. His language abilities attracted the attention of the Central Intelligence Agency, and following his military service Mr. Davidson spent the next 28 years as a Clandestine Services officer. Seventeen of those years were spent abroad in a variety of sensitive posts working against the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. In the private sector he worked as a business owner and security and economic development consultant before devoting full time to his writing.
