Living a life of emotional dependence on a lost love, Nathan has nothing to live for, except the humdrum of a crippling life. Believing that people cannot resist the currents of their time, he has been docile taking life as it comes along, until the secret police pick him up for interrogation. Then, he realizes that behind the façade of revolutionary slogans he has almost come to believe carte blanche is a more sinister plan. Someone has to stop the powerful. But who? He finds an ally in Major Adams, convinces him that the powerful don't have all the monopoly on intrigue and blackmail. Major Adams has discovered the Junta's secret. Death is almost certain for all, until the participants in the unfolding drama-Adams, Nathan, and Amina-realize that it will take their collective will to live, and all their endurance and courage to overcome the large cadre of the 'revolutionary zealots' in order to return this African nation to a modicum of peace. Drawing upon his early memories and serious search for answers to the senselessness of wasted lives, the author presents a story of the clash of ethnic cultures and the struggles of individuals to cope with their ever-changing landscape.
