A political thriller, set in South Africa, laced with all the angst and pain and lacerating emotion that comes from attempting to intellectualise, and hence come to terms with, living in that volatile, unnerving, but ultimately fascinating land |
|
| Other text | An Act of Terror is the work of a sane, civilised, intelligent man- a story about events that are in the process of becoming news stories. Brink… is a writer of inspired violence, and his shifts of viewpoint are thrilling and significant, and deepy honouring the profession of literature |
