![]() ![]() The story is a page-turner unfortunately, the book is not. These facts are relevant, but they stop the progression of the story. Numerous chapters in the middle of the book get weighed down with studies of Sudanese history, a comparison of Islam and Christianity (Nhial's own faith), details on the development of the Sudan People's Liberation Army, life in a refugee camp and the history of oil resources and slavery in southern Sudan. ![]() Nhial's story is told third-person, in Mills's voice, which drains its power. ![]() He and the others dream of going back to rebuild Sudan into a peaceful and prosperous country. Eventually, Nhial was one of the 4,000 relocated to the United States. The Lost Boys-35,000 of them-found safety first in Ethiopia, and when attacked there moved on to Kenya, losing a great deal of their number in their escape across the Gilo River, where they were attacked by crocodiles, shot or drowned. Tyndale, 14.99 trade paper (400p) ISBN 978-1-4964-1099-3 Mills introduces readers to stubborn but dedicated FBI Special Agent Kord Davidson in this. He watched some of his companions attacked by lions and daily feared for his life. When Saudi Prince Omar bin Talal visits Houston to seek cancer treatment for his mother, an attempt on his life puts all agencies on high alert. ![]() He ran into the jungle, meeting other "Lost Boys" and wandering with them for months, and survived by eating wild plants and even mud. That doesn’t mean I didn’t want to read it. The third and final book of the FBI Task Force series, I unfortunately didn’t enjoy this one quite as much. Rebels attacked his village in southern Sudan in 1987, killing many dear to him. DiAnn Mills drew me into High Treason from the first page. ![]()
