Downfall is a scream rebelling against injustice. The torn Middle East shouts for peace. Downfall deals with the arrogance of power now trying to control the world without resorting to international legitimateness. The novel exposes the western plot (the Arab Spring) against the Middle East aiming at dividing it into factions and sects living in small sectors without borders so that the west could draw the map of the Middle East in accordance with its geostrategic needs and objectives. This vicious plan has led to millions of deaths, displacements and refugees scattered on the borders of foreign countries. The events of the novel are played out by Omar, the Egyptian commando who was assigned later as the Egyptian ambassador to the United States and Elizabeth, the daughter of the president of the United States, a human rights activist, who shared with Omar a sincere love and the fight for establishing peace and justice in a torn world.

The famous lawyer Tom Wilson had only one daughter, Daisy Wilson. He loved her so much and her mother Clair pampered her a lot. At the age of 12, Daisy grew up into a beautiful girl that was joy to watch. Tom worked so hard that Clair and Daisy seldom saw him. Clair fell in love with another man and asked Tom for a divorce. Tom never forgave her infidelity and divorced her. Clair married her lover and left Daisy in her father's care. When Daisy aged 16, she became a wild child. Her head was filled with boy stuff and her strong sex drive made her lust after boys. Tom feared that Daisy might inherit the bad traits of her mother and elope with a lover who might take advantage of her. He decided to take her into a long trip to distract her from lust and infatuation. He took her to Luxor, the city of the ancient civilization of the Pharaohs. Tom and Daisy went on a felucca ride on the Nile. The sailor was Mostafa, a young boy who was the same age as Daisy. During the two-day trip, Mostafa showed acts of bravery and a sense of high responsibility. A devilish thought came to Tom's mind: why not take Mostafa to the United States to watch over Daisy and protect her from digression of youth? Tom made a bargain with Mostafa's father and took Mostafa back with him to the United States. Daisy rebelled against Mostafa's attempts to reform her. But how a young man raised in a conservative country and believes in abstinence before marriage could prevent Daisy from having affairs with strangers? What could Mostafa do to protect her from her evil self? How could he protect the girl he loved from disastrous circumstance destroying her life? This is what the novel tells.
