Description: For countless Somali asylum seekers the Hagadera camp has been crucial, providing shelter in the wake of severe drought and war. Yet it has never been safe. And when four American volunteers at the camp take off for a well-earned rest, bandits hijack their Land Cruiser, and they awake in a hut to find themselves hooded, bound, without food or water. Hostages. Ex-CIA agent John Wells is persuaded to go to Kenya to track them down. But Wells is no expert on kidnappings or East Africa. And the truth is more complex than he ever could have imagined. Only one thing is certain: the clock is ticking, and the White House is edging closer to an invasion of Somalia.
Table of contents: title: John Wells goes undercover to track four kidnapped Americans and the Somali bandits who snatched them. East Africa isn't his usual playing field. And when he arrives, he discovers that the truth behind the kidnappings is far more complex than he imagined. If he can't locate the hostages soon, they'll be dead; title: and the United States may find itself in a war it never should have begun.
