Borders in the Sand - Paperback

by Andrew Calderone (Author)

The continental shift is reforming Pangea, so that islands once scattered across the Caribbean have become locked in a collision course that will blur allegiances, and the lines between nations. War plagues the West Caribbean Union, but one draft dodger will brave rebels, bounty hunters, and zealots to get across the border, with the hope of rediscovering liberty... and the woman he loves.

This epic misadventure is told by three vastly different islanders navigating the grey area between good and evil: General Lament, a former officer in the Union military looking to make amends for her war crimes by leading the exodus to the coast, Ezra Atun, a captive awaiting draft in a labour camp manufacturing weapons for the Union, and Strickland River, the bounty hunter set to track Ezra down and deliver him to the armed forces. Borders in the Sand explores the boundaries we draw between each other, our longing to cross them, and the forces that keep us within the lines. Through thick jungle and urban squalor, Andrew Calderone takes the reader on a journey through servitude to the light of escape.
