Dusklands depicts the struggle of four groups caught in the middle of a civil war in Africa: Daniel Mabitse, the power crazed zealot who would do anything to rule the whole of Southern Africa, Kyle and Annabelle, two students who have to overcome their own fears and prejudice in order to survive; Vusi Malodi, a twelve-year-old boy on the trail of terrorists, hoping to fulfil a promise and rescue his brother; Carver and Lewis, sent from the United States on a quest of revenge to assassinate Mabitse. The Winds of Fate force these people's paths to cross, for some leading to redemption, for others leading to misery. And then there's also Appollyon...Set mostly in modern day Southern Africa, Dusklands explores possibilities of revolution in a genre similar to Wilbur Smith. The many subplots are tightly interwoven and the characters in each are dynamic and credible. The plot is racy in pace and always sustains a sense of anticipation and atmosphere of intrigue. Not for the faint-hearted. Gripping storyline, keeps the reader captivated throughout. First novel by the author, who is 24 yrs old and Afrikaans speaking. Satirically humorous.
