A mercenary's son chases his father's ghost to Kyiv and finds a war he doesn't want. He thinks fighting up the Russians will help but thinks better and thinks Africa is the place to be if the big war breaks out. After 4 safaris waiting for it and a goal to be the best writer in the country, he finds a girl at an ice cream shop and says "let's go", and goes back to the Serengeti. Can't tell her age but he finds something truly worth writing about, all the bad money he made to get here, all the Mexico shit he did in his twenties to set himself up and all the friends out in the lemon fields waiting for the planes to land and then the ten good years he fished in the DR on the badass boat he bought with the bad money and he still doesn't know what he's after. But when the money runs out and he has to chase a war he just doesn't have it in him, but he does have a place for his girl and a new start. Waiting for his boy to come he says I'm going to put it all down. One of the best stories ever about war and smuggling and losing it. His only goal the best writing in the country, if he can stay sane and live and make it in Africa alone he just might make it new again, he knows this book will prove it.
