Congo Dawn by
Jeanette Windle
Christina Robin Duncan is an ex-marine who has a goal. She wants to care for her ailing niece who
needs an expensive medical operation.
The best way to earn some cash is to take an assignment in the Congo to
find the terrorist who is raising a guerrilla rebellion against the efforts of
her employer, Ares Solutions, to mine molybdenum. But when she arrives, she is surprised to
learn that a former marine buddy, Michael Stewart, is also nearby as part of
Doctors Without Borders. They had last
seen each other when he was medevacking her injured brother from
Afghanistan. Michael's promise to her to
keep her brother alive had been broken.
But nothing is as it seems and Chris is thrust into a dangerous
situation where the truth may kill her.
Jeanette Windle has written a carefully researched and
suspenseful novel. Although it was a bit
difficult to get hooked on this book, once I was, the pendulum swings and
constant shifting of the plot kept me off balance and reading. Her writing is easily read and yet covers
some meaty topics like suffering, sin and God's love. Her main characters express their (and I
assume the author's, as well) biblical viewpoints in well-thought-out ways. Their viewpoints give the reader much to
ponder. I thoroughly enjoyed this book,
its plot, its well-drawn characters and the setting. I heartily recommend it. The publisher provided a free copy for this
review and this is my honest review.
