Blood Algebra

Blood Algebra is two stories in one.
A fiery and quixotic American physician who goes to Guatemala to help the underserved, but brings about unintended consequences when she falls for the most unlikely of men...
A Guatemalan military hero trained by the CIA, whose greatest qualities bring about his spectacular downfall, and yet lead to his rebirth and his greatest, most ruthless success.
Both stories beget the question: what are any of us capable of, if pushed beyond our limits by the extremes of war, or love?
