The Warlord's Son by Dan Fesperman
The Warlord's Son by Dan Fesperman
In this riveting tale of intrigue and betrayal, a journalist and his guide infiltrate Afghanistan on the eve of the fall of the Taliban.
Skelly, a jaded war correspondent, is looking for one last scoop. Najeeb, his translator, is an educated young man from the Pakistani-Afghani tribal border lands with a secret past, a history with the Pakistani secret police, and his own motives for this risky adventure. Together they join a warlord's caravan as he seeks to start an uprising that will liberate the country. Along the way, they stumble onto what might just be the story of a lifetime, in a shady realm of hidden agendas, shifting allegiances, and sudden betrayals. It is a dangerous world where the only hope for survival lies in their loyalty to each other.
