THE SECOND BOOK IN THE OMEGA FILES QUARTET
A stunning, globe-trotting story of financial and political corruption on a remote island lost in the Indonesian Archipelago. Can a courageous ex-soldier and his companions prevent genocide by a tyrannical regime? Amidst dark clouds of hatred, will truth and love triumph over treachery?
Tony Tavinor sat at the side of a track in a small village in East Timor. He suddenly heard the sound of Hawk Jets, like a voice howling in anger. The sound of death, of oppression. As the first bombs fell, he threw himself down on Alisa, the ten years old daughter of Jose dos Santos, a campaigner against the Indonesian occupation.
Tavinor had been in East Timor for almost four years. He had fallen in love with the strange forgotten land, with its resolute and oppressed people. He gave his skills as a soldier to an indigenous group fighting for independence, campaigning for freedom. He helped Maria, a nurse he had met in Angola, and Doctor Roberto Garcia, tend to the sick and wounded.
Indonesian tyrant General Feisal Usman had his own “final solution” in the making, waging a war against the indigenous freedom fighters of East Timor, making the remote island an uninhabitable death zone through the planting of thousands of landmines. Landmines illegally supplied by the United Kingdom as part of a major covert arms deal between Great Britain and Indonesia.
Dr Garcia pleads with Tavinor to travel to London to prevent the impending disaster. But when Alisa is badly injured by a landmine, and with the Indonesian army at the heels of the freedom fighters, can Tavinor return in time to get his compatriots out to safety?
