Produktbeschreibung

Shot down over the jungle with a planeload of grass, Vietnam War hero Joe Murphy gets caught up in the brutal Guatemalan Civil War and an attack on a Mayan village by the Army and its CIA "advisors". Badly injured, he escapes on a nightmare trek through the jungle, hunted by the Army, the CIA, and death squads. Healed by guerrilla doctor Dona Villalobos, he falls in love with her and tries to save her from the War's widening horror of insanity, tragedy, and death.

He returns to San Francisco to reveal the connection between the CIA and the Army death squads, only to be rejected by the media and soon forced to flee arrest for murders he did not commit. Back in Guatemala he joins Dona and tries to get her to leave before she is killed.

Based on the author's own experiences as one of the last foreign journalists left alive in Guatemala after over 100 journalists had been killed by Army death squads.

Autorenporträt

M I K E B O N D is the author of nearly a dozen best-selling novels, a war and human rights journalist, ecologist, international energy expert and award-winning poet. He has been called "the master of the existential thriller" (BBC), "one of America's best thriller writers" (Culture Buzz), "a nature writer of the caliber of Matthiessen" (WordDreams), and "one of the 21st Century's most exciting authors" (Washington Times). He has covered wars, revolutions, terrorism, military dictatorships and death squads in the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and Africa, and environmental issues including elephant poaching, habitat loss, wilderness survival, whales, wolves and many other endangered species. His novels place the reader in intense experiences in the world's most perilous places, in dangerous liaisons, political and corporate conspiracies, wars and revolutions, making "readers sweat with [their] relentless pace" (Kirkus) "in that fatalistic margin where life and death are one and the existential reality leaves one caring only to survive." (Sunday Oregonian). He has climbed mountains on every continent and trekked more than 50,000 miles in the Himalayas, Mongolia, Russia, Europe, New Zealand, North and South America, and Africa.
