by Wahome Mutahi

Having failed to achieve his imperial grand scheme nearer home, Saddam Hussein has decided that there are other ways to make his presence felt. The first target is the American Embassy in Anyisa, a country choking in the contradiction of its own systems. At the heart of it is Ismail, who finds easy allies in the ambitious, wily but gullible money-maniac Albert Lukulo, failed presidential candidate and gun-runner and his band of disenchanted Wasimba sect die-hards.

i liked the fictionalized version of the 1998 us embassy bombing. retained a lot of what actually happened, especially the politics behind the scenes with americans denying kenyan rescue missions access to the site. This is a way of honouring those who lost their lives in that tragic event, and who best but "Whispers".R.I.P mutahi, we miss your sunday columns dearly
