Description
Freight Dogs by Giles Foden is an amazing and profound work that reworks the grand African adventure novel. Set against the backdrop of Congo's complex conflict, this perceptive and compassionate history follows an unlikely group of characters as they navigate the brutal period in their lives.
When a young man named Manu joins an anarchic band of mercenary pilots from different parts of the world, he hopes to reinvent himself. But no matter how fast he flies, trouble always seems to follow closely behind. This gripping story is a sharp and fast-paced exploration of loyalty, identity, and the human cost of war.
