Sudan

**Sudan 2000.** The largest nation in Africa has been turned into a killing field; two million are dead in a brutal civil war. But human rights journalist Ron Wolfson isn't in Sudan to cover the action in the war. He's risking his life there on a different adventure—chasing reports of modern-day slave trading in the war-ravaged country.

When Arab Murahaleen guerrillas attack a small village and kidnap a little girl named Akin to sell into slavery in a market in the North, her father, Idris, goes after her and Ron joins the simple villager in his desperate effort to rescue his child. While Ron's brother, a U.S. congressman, battles indifference to force international political pressure on the government of Sudan, Ron finds the story he's been looking for and suffers the brutal retaliation of a slave trader. 

The lives of Ron and Idris hang by a thread in a suspense-filled, thriller ending, their fate in the hands of a bloodthirsty mercenary and an orphan boy. But even if they survive, will it be too late to save little Akin from the horror that awaits all slave girls.
