Jacket design by Jack Ribik. keywords: Europe Spain Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION-A thrilling and richly textured novel, The Grass Rain chronicles a young American's unforgettable experience amid the brutal realities of contemporary Africa. When ecologist Bob Fender arrives in Kenya, intent on studying the grasses of the African countryside, he is unaware that he is about to be thrust into a complex web of intrigue involving the CIA, the ruling Kenyan government and its aging president, the charismatic opposition leader, and conflicting international interests. He also discovers that his friend and colleague John Murphy died a few days before—under questionable circumstances. When he is repeatedly mistaken for his dead friend, Fender begins to believe that Murphy's life may have been as mysterious as his death. Nonetheless, Fender continues his work and joins a safari party. As the safari members search for wild animals and their precious tusks, it becomes increasingly clear that the hunt is for more than just riches; the net pulls in even tighter around the unsuspecting Fender. A seemingly innocent romantic affair, a sudden uprising, the declaration of a national state of emergency, and a secret shipment of arms all contribute to a dramatic climax in which the hunters and their ruthless quest for power are revealed. Set amid the exotic bustle of Nairobi, the capital, and the Kenyan countryside, The Grass Rain is both a compelling novel of intrigue and suspense and a memorable portrait of modern Kenya: a country of paradisiacal natural beauty and wildlife, now ravaged by lawless poachers; and a country painfully emerging as a twentieth-century nation, where human predators struggle, not for survival but for dominance, in a troubled continent. inventory #4080.
