The Reborn: Rude Awakening (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732532502)

"The Reborn- Rude Awakening". The lead, Robert Blake is a 69 year old former Special Forces man that is killed by an IED in Baghdad Iraq. When he wakes again, he is in the body of a girl on the verge of 18. This girl belongs to the chief powerful family that secretly controls the world and has been doing so for quite some time.

The family can trace themselves back to Alexander the Great and clandestinely intend to establish another great age. Unfortunately, the ancient family genes have been unable to produce healthy babies and it is on the verge of extinction. Keeping the semblance of a pure line is of the utmost importance. This girl was bred to help accomplish the quest of "continuing the line" but the same incident that took Roberts life destroyed Faatina's ability to mother the next heir. They are now forced with the humiliation of allowing another "off branch" of the line take control of the world's affairs.

Nearly useless, Faatina is redesigned into the ultimate sexy trophy wife to be traded from one powerful British family to another powerful Arab family for some minor favors. Robert must pretend that he is this young woman but rejects the idea of being anyone's wife especially in a Saudi household and would rather die than be taken to bed by another man. He fails in his escape but wins a temporary reprieve from marriage due in part to his ingenuity.

The girl, Faatina is given a new identity, relocated but monitored. Now called "Jasmine" she studies Kung Fu and attends an all-girl school where she becomes addicted to lesbian relationships after being seduced by a teacher. Here she begins to build her own small underground organization of young women that will someday infiltrate the world unseen and take control (at least that is what she tells them). But what starts as an experiment and a joke evolves into a working mechanism that affects small changes inside the US. She survives an attempted rape but gains a powerful friend in doing so.

This new body has an ear for music and a talent for performing. After winning a killing war for her contract, she begins a tour that takes her into Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa. Along the way, she conducts simple missions for the family and is introduced to the origins of history, science, spirit world and some special powers.

Throughout this story, she finds friends, falls in love but is obligated to let them go. Her life comes in danger many times and she is forced to return to the old military training in order to survive. She finds she has a younger brother. In the end, she is told that the "battle of all ages" is about to begin that will involve her and a secret plot to cause the total downfall of society and the possible reincarnation of Alexander the Great himself.
