Missionaries

'Expansive, explosive and epic' Marlon James. 'A. courageous book' New York Times Book Review. A BARACK OBAMA BOOK OF THE YEAR. Neither Mason, a US Special Forces medic, nor Lisette, a foreign correspondent, has emerged from America's long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan unscathed. Yet, for them, war still exerts a terrible draw - the noble calling, the camaraderie, the life-and-death stakes. Where else in the world can such a person go. All roads lead to Colombia, where the US has partnered with the local government to stamp out a vicious civil war and keep the predatory narco gangs at bay. Mason is ready for the good war, and Lisette is more than ready to cover it. A novel of extraordinary suspense, Missionaries. is an astonishment whose unsparing drama is infused with a rare wisdom about the human heart.
