Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 2002, Eve and Jack Elway are in the rain forest in Nigeria performing humanitarian service living and working on the southeast coast of Akwa Ibom near the Cameroon border below Calabar on the Cross River. They soon learn that life in a brutal society among the gentle Ibibio people is dangerous. Loyal native friends steer them clear of corrupt government officials and scheming fraudsters. They experience the richness and humor of the culture in which they have been transplanted. Looming in the background is an ambiguous threat. The American couple fails to see the perils of the subtle surveillance of their movements. George W. Bush has negotiated the exile of Charles Taylor, the butcher of Sierra Leone, to Calabar where the path of his minions crosses the Elways. Unexplained accidents and deaths lead to their realization that they are in a race for survival. The deadly plot they uncover leads to brushes with death in the bush which is populated by mambas, cobras, gaboon vipers and insurgents. This item is printed on demand.
