Flash of the Sun (Millennium Dawn Series Book 1)

Former French commando Rene Roccard's plan to assassinate underground leader Ruben Um in New York takes him on a relentless pursuit to Europe and Africa. Hot on his heels is veteran American journalist Clement Coulther as they join others in a journey of love and betrayal, death and war, fear and hope.

Rene leads the bloody campaign by the Franco-Cameroonian army against the Ruben-inspired rebellion, a dirty war during which bright-eyed Gavin loses his innocence. As the young Gavin's world falls apart, he, like the majority of his compatriots, fails to understand the manipulations that bring about the defeat of the country's progressive forces and that lead to the ascension to power of the country's first puppet president.

Cameroon not only lives up to its image as the pearl of Africa, but also proves to be an unfathomable riddle for the unscrupulous souls seeking its subjugation and those out to liberate it, in their peculiar journey of war and peace that brings redemption and damnation with it.
