1996: in a Ugandan dive bar, the ' freight dogs' gather. An anarchic group of mercenary pilots from Texas, Russia, Kenya and Belgium who transport weapons between warring African nations, without allegiance. And tonight they have a new recruit - Manu, a 19-year-old cowherd fleeing Congo' s bloody war. Taken in by this band of unlikely brothers, he' s soon seeing his vast country from above and falling in love with flying. But no matter how fast he flies, trouble follows closely behind. And when the past erupts back into this new life, Manu is forced to leave behind African skies for the chilly embrace of northern Europe. Will Manu be able to reinvent himself yet again? And is Belgian volcanologist Anke Desseaux the answer to his problems - or simply another one of them? From the writer of THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND comes an unforgettable story of survival - about how to live and love after trauma, set against a backdrop of world-shaking conflict.
An amazing and profound work, rich in memorable detail. * Jay Parini * Audacious, shrewd and spirited * William Boyd on THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND *
