Description

A severely burned boy appears on a remote rock formation in the Akkad Valley. A shadowy group within the US government speculates about his identity and origins, leading to an interrogation that uncovers a complex web of voices and stories. As the boy's story unfolds over four days, a diverse cast of characters emerges, each with their own role in shaping the world affected by the war on terror. The narrative is both a searing response to chaos and a blackly comic debut, offering a unique perspective on the inner workings of power and the human condition. This novel explores the darker aspects of our inner selves, revealing what has been and what might be in a world shaped by fear, politics, and technology.
