Om denne e-boken
Deep within the remote jungle community of the Village, Westerners Kit and Lara have discovered their own private idyll: a world far from their dysfunctional, failing lives back home. With Helen, their four-month-old daughter, in tow, Kit and Lara tend to medical supplies, learn the local language, and luxuriate, often stoned, in the comfort of their newfound freedom.
But all highs have their comedown . . . With Lara several days into the jungle on a vaccination drive, an unwelcome messenger from the border arrives – the message: an army is amassing. Shot in shaky footage, entombed in a tiny memory card, what Kit unwittingly holds in his hands is evidence of a world-shattering event unfolding, the audaciously violent power-play of the teetering Superpower. Now, without her mother, Kit also holds his infant daughter.
As the Village falls squarely in the Superpower’s sights, Kit and Helen are forced into a dramatic odyssey – one that will take father and daughter straight into the heart of an unforgiving world Kit thought they’d left behind.
