Synopsis

In the early 1980s, Libyan forces crossed the border into Chad to help one side in the civil war raging in the country. France, the former colonial power in Chad, moved to thwart that alliance and the United States, alarmed to see Libya, a Soviet client, threatening to control more of the African continent, had its own interest in blocking the Libyans. “Out of Season” is a fictional account of the three-way interplay among the intelligence services but includes many real facts and events of that period. The novel also looks at the legacy of colonialism and its corrosive effects on the native populations; the relative power of beliefs; and how seemingly small choices made in anger can have life-altering consequences.

    I'd succumbed to the idea I'd be alone for the rest of my life. It was the reason I closed myself off from everyone. I had nothing to offer except anger and regret. 
     
     
     
    Then I found solace when I joined the Knights Corruption, discovering the sense of family I'd longed for. 
     
     
     
    Fate stepped in once more when I met a woman who stirred up emotions I never thought I could feel. Just as I began to embrace the possibility of love, I found out I was going to be a father, thrusting me into a whirlwind of responsibility and fear. 
     
     
     
    As the war with the Los Zappas cartel threatens to steal everything from me, I battle between my past and my future. 
     
     
     
    Will I be given the chance to rise to the challenge and protect the family I'd been gifted? Or will the shadows of my past consume me, denying me the opportunity at redemption?
