More than a decade after the end of the cold war has chilled the Marxist rebel movements around the world, one hot spot remains: Colombia. Why a democratic country with a growing economy should still feel the brushfires of a civil war is a mystery to U.S. analysts, but not to certain parties on the other side of the world.
The inexplicable loss of three major U.S. assets draws the attention of the world to the Colombian demilitarized zone. Are the local Colombian rebels responsible? Or is a deadly Middle Eastern secret cloaked by the jungle canopy of the DMZ?
Among the contingent of politicians and media headed for the DMZ seeking answers is reporter Julie Baker, whose parents had been missionaries in Colombia. Old hurts and terrors surge as she revisits the place of her birth? and her parents? deaths. When Julie?s own abduction by guerrillas triggers a time bomb that has been ticking under the feet of the U.S. for a decade, she is left with more questions than answers.
The DMZ is a fast paced, hard to put down, well researched book that will make you feel like you are reading non-fiction instead of fiction. In my eyes, Jeanette Windle is the ?Tom Clancy? of Christian fiction. I will read everything she write because I know everything is well researched and some of it is truth weaved into fiction.
Powerful story, great book!
