J. A. Myhre, Acacia Masso

A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World is a compelling African adventure that will enthrall young listeners aged eight to fourteen who love thrilling stories and exploring faraway places. In this exciting fourth and final audiobook of the Rwendigo Tales series, listeners will be inspired by ordinary people who make the extraordinary choice to stand against great evil. Written by J. A. Myhre, a doctor living and working in East Africa, this adventure delivers powerful themes of justice, overcoming evil, and the courage to make a difference. In A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World, a doctor volunteering in a village plagued by a mysterious virus wakes up on a deserted island—injured, sick, and near death—with no memory of how he got there. As Dr. Mujuni slowly regains his memory, he pieces together the horrific reality of what happened to the community and learns just how far the government-backed officials will go to silence all knowledge of the epidemic. With the help of a young girl named Nyakato, the only other survivor, he must find a way back to the mainland. But what they uncover on their journey is even more dangerous than they could have imagined. Through a series of perils and hazards, Mujuni and Nyakato must fight for more than their own survival, discovering the true cost of standing against corruption and greed. This powerful adventure offers hope in the midst of great loss, triumph and courage in the face of death and injustice, and love in the midst of darkness.
