Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Caputo here presents protagonist Charlie Gage, a journalist who is recruited for a mysterious job that essentially turns out to be serving as a mercenary in a mythical country in northeast Africa. His tour in Vietnam and his additional combat experiences as a correspondent, however, have left Gage with little stomach for fighting. There are many battle sequences, but the book also delves into the nature of evil and morality. This 1980 title remains "a notable and engrossing first novel" (LJ 12/15/80).

Review
“Reminiscent in its passionate style and moral intensity of the best of Joseph Conrad.”–Newsday
“A real novel stuffed with excitement and filled with sharply drawn characters.”–The New York Times
“An extraordinarily powerful novelist who works in one of the grand traditions of literature: the fiction of nightmare against the background of war and espionage.”–The Dallas Morning News
“Does not suffer in comparison with Graham Greene or Joseph Conrad. . . . An awesomely evil tale–enthralling, disgusting, utterly first-rate.” –Jim Harrison
