I've got a giveaway copy of this from the publisher. Leave a comment at the end of the post for a chance at it.
Fans of politico-military thrillers will enjoy this one. The fireworks start when a missionary, full of passion and zeal for the street children of Venezuela, is enticed to play a minor (or so he thinks) part in what he is led to believes will be a peaceful coup, ushering in a democratic government. David Eller's rash but well-intentioned actions endanger, not only the mission where he works, but his own family.
Blood-thirsty and ambitious military officers, covert operatives, and drug dealers are soon hot on David's trail. Who is working for who remains veiled in mystery throughout the story, and some of the "good guys" come as a surprise.
The missionary must face critical questions about his own motives and priorities. His faith is challenged to the limit, even as he plumbs the depths of his own helplessness and ignorance apart from God's mercy and wisdom.
