AMMAN, Jordan -- A novel Saddam Hussein apparently finished the day before the U.S.-led war in Iraq started will be published next week.

His daughter said the book -- "Get Out, Damned One" -- tells the story of a man who plots to overthrow a town's sheik but is defeated in his quest by the sheik's daughter and an Arab warrior.

Saddam has written three other novels. They were simply signed, "Its author." This one will carry Saddam's name.

A Jordanian company will publish the book in Arabic, followed by English and French editions.

The book includes a dedication from Raghad Saddam Hussein to her father that reads, "to the creator of men and heroes ... to the one who taught us all the great values."
