'Forbidden Soldier' is the follow-up to 'Orphan of Islam' the story of his life as a mixed-race kid growing up in a strict religious family in east Lancashire. This sequel covers his time in the British Army and the search for the mum he thought he'd lost forever. Did he find her? And if he did, was she all he expected her to be? Alexander Khan’s first book, Orphan of Islam, described how his young life fell apart when his Asian father died suddenly and his English mother disappeared without trace. Alex was sent to Pakistan to be re-educated, but he escaped the clutches of the fundamentalists and returned to England. This is where Orphan of Islam ended. As well as hundreds of rave reviews for the book, readers were keen to know what happened next. Finally, this long-awaited story can be told and, if anything, it is even more dramatic than Orphan of Islam.
