African Sky by Tony Park, the author of Red Earth, is a full-throttle historical thriller that will engross fans of Clive Cussler. Rhodesia, 1943. A nation at war. Paul Bryant hasn't been able to get back in a plane since a fatal bombing mission over Germany. So, instead, the Squadron Leader is flying a desk at a pilot training school at Kumalo air base. But one of his trainees has just been reported missing. Pip Lovejoy, a volunteer policewoman, is also trying to suppress painful memories. When Felicity Langham, a high profile WAAF from the air base, is found raped and murdered, Pip and Bryant's paths cross. Suspicion immediately falls on the local black community, but Pip's investigations unearth a link between the Squadron Leader, the controversial heiress Catherine De Beers and the dead woman, which throws the case in a new, disturbing direction. What Pip thinks is a singular crime of passion soon escalates into a crisis that could change the course of the war.

Synopsis African Skies by : Karen Rispin

Though Laurel Binet and Darren Grant both love their work in exotic Africa, they can't stand each other. Their opposing passions spark arguments over what's really important: she's investing her life in the study of wildlife for a master's degree; he has no time for people who waste their energies serving animals when people need food and shelter. When their worlds collide during calamitous seasons of starvation and epidemic, Darren and Laurel have to learn to work together. Encounters with deadly snakes, the unscrupulous acts of a fanatical conservationist, and a frightening kidnapping force both Laurel and Darren to examine their faith -- and their feelings for one another. Can love bring harmony where once there was war?

Three families - the Bryants, the Quilter-Phippses and the Ngwenyas - share a history as complex and bloody as Zimbabwe itself.

Synopsis Sassywood Man by : Lorraine Sherman Mason

In this collection of short stories and prose, Lorraine introduces her readers to life in Liberia, mostly in the 1970s, a crucial time in her childhood. She hopes to convey the struggle of not only single mothers but of a people caught sometimes glued on the fringes of society-a disenfranchised and marginalized group. She explores a time when the possibilities of aspiring beyond one's social huddle had many implications; and concludes with the hope of a new day and a brighter future in light of the hundreds of thousands who gave their lives through death, sacrifice, displacement, and time lost.
