Lemba becomes a drone-loving computer whiz in the mega-city of Kinshasa, while Josiane aspires to be a rumba star. But murderous gun-worshippers kidnap the brilliant techie, and to keep his parents safe, he must fight for the wrong side. He must even become a sea-going pirate.

Meanwhile Josiane faces different menaces as bad as his. Only Lemba can save her. And for now, he is a captive of the thuggish Congolese Purification Army--led by a seven-foot-tall whackjob all too handy with his AK-47 and machete. As Lemba fights both the Purifiers and their enemies, he also battles to keep his humanity while protecting the people he loves.
Read this one in one sitting

A disturbing novel on the harsh realities of what is happening in Africa. The characters are well developed and really makes you care about what is happening to them. The story is well told and is a quick read. I highly recommend this book to all.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
