Más información sobre el libro

African author, Darrell Nkholoma Phiri, brings us, The Epidemic, a stunning pandemic novel for all times. Written four years before the covid pandemic shook the world this book now resonates more than expected. Every reader will relate on many levels. The Epidemic is a political war drama with events based around the fear of a pandemic. Follow three different men from very different backgrounds as they weave their way through their own personal dramas. A politically motivated business man, a Syrian General and a general labourer, all with different motivations and struggles for their survival. The Epidemic follows three totally different men through personal and political upheaval. One, an orphan African boy, come businessman, come politician. Two, a recovering from amnesia, General of the Syrian Army. Three, an unskilled labourer running from his past infidelities. Which one of these three characters do you identify with? Are any of the three of them redeemable as they weave their way through the power politics of a pandemic world that could kill them?
