The atrocities and betrayals John Ralston has seen in forty years of UN field work teachers raped, acid thrown in the faces of aid workers, murderous leaders getting rich while children die have given him a short fuse. That fuse ignites a year into his retirement when his daughter is abducted and mutilated in Uganda by a religious terrorist army. Ralston plans a quiet mission of retribution that will free his daughter and get him close enough to the terrorist leader, Joseph Koni "The Redeemer" to kill him. But before he can move, two big players with their own motives for annihilating Koni and his group the governments of Iran and the USA crowd into the action, side by side. Each page crackles with tension as we witness the siege of the terrorist base, follow Ralston as he tracks the escaped Koni along a riverbank, and watch the Iranians hunt down Engineer Nasrullah, Konis Afghan adviser, the killer of a revered ayatollah. Before these bloody showdowns, author Richard Reid gives readers closeup seats at Taleban assassinations and the horrific branding rites of Konis army but also riveting images of beauty and bravery in scenes stretching from Afghanistan to the Congo. Richard Reid worked with the UN and other international organisations for twentysix years. He now lives in Istanbul, where he teaches university courses in humanities and international relations.
