A Novel based on the story of Sodom in the Old Testament and the Quran

Sodom, the big sister of four wicked cities, starts with the freedom to do its sin, but later ends up imposing it on others. Finally, it adds every evil to it.

It assaults every weak man. Its people feel superior and they hate strangers, yet they love to enjoy them. Sodom's king and eight magistrates prove to be the summit of injustice in the city. Its army raids other countries to plunder them and to bring men and boys to satisfy the lust of the notables. Moreover, the city has gangsters with deadly names: Kabiata The Fox, Abiya The Bear, Aduna The Wolf.

One day, three strangers; all clean-shaven with soft, white skins arrive at the city and stay at the house of Lot, the prophet. The city becomes excited, hearing about them. The king and the magistrates send the royal guards to get the three strangers. The people want to get the strangers and resist the soldiers. The gangs fight the people and the soldiers and each other. But the three strangers turn out to be angels the Lord of Lot has sent to achieve a disastrous task in the city.
