Sinopse

We were talking last evening – as the blue moon-mist poured in through the old-fashioned grated window, and mingled with our yellow lamplight at table – we were talking of a certain castle whose heir is initiated (as folk tell) on his twenty-first birthday to the knowledge of a secret so terrible as to overshadow his subsequent life. It struck us, discussing idly the various mysteries and terrors that may lie behind this fact or this fable, that no doom or horror conceivable and to be defined in words could ever adequately solve this riddle; that no reality of dreadfulness could seem caught but paltry, bearable, and easy to face in comparison with this vague we know not what.

    The intervention of a quadriplegic saved Nguyen Huu Minh from a mugging on the streets of Baltimore while attending Johns Hopkins University. That man’s faith 
    changed Minh’s life. 
    Minh’s new faith brings him into conflict with his father’s business interests in Vietnam and the mysterious powers supporting his father. Estranged from his father 
    and shunned by his family, Minh learns to support himself by working as a translator for Americans coming to Vietnam during the waning years of the war. 
    Finally, with the fall of Vietnam, another man’s intervention provides Minh with what he needs to flee the doomed country. With a boat, a crew, and a group of passengers, including a young French nun, Sister Carlene, and the thirty-five orphans she has charge of, Minh starts his escape to Thailand. 
    But Minh learns that there are some enemies that cannot be fled from; instead, these adversaries must be faced and resisted. He discovers that he is in the middle of a war, not with flesh and blood, but with spiritual powers bent on destroying him and all those seeking escape. 
    Minh discovers what intervention is when he must risk everything to save those he loves. In the process, he experiences the reality of the spiritual war that rages unseen by most. 
    Charles de Andrade’s books draw on places he has lived, people he’s met, friends he’s made, and stories he’s been told.
