Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. CD3 - A hardcover book in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket has some wrinkling, chipping and crease on the edges and corners, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light tanning and shelf wear. Includes a laid in publisher's "Review Copy" plate. Although not marked in any way, this copy comes from the personal collection of Otto Penzler, legendary editor and founder of the Mysterious Press, an award-winning icon in the genre. 9.5"x6.5", 350 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. A first-rate adventure novel, BARAKA - Arabic for "divine luck" - masterfully combines the solid research and skillful suspense plotting with the moral complexities of Graham Greene. When Martin Laing, Harvard MBA and golden boy at Western-Oriental Oil Corporation, attempts to finesse a lucrative deal for offshore oil permits with Hanoi, Hanoi asks, in exchange, that he unload $5 billion worth of U.S. armaments, tanks, airplanes, and ammunition which were abandoned after the fall of Saigon. The only problem is, the arms and their sale is highly illegal. With the help of Anthony Smith, an old college buddy turned soldier of fortune, Laing, however, does locate a possible client - the dangerous, outlaw Polisario guerillas of the Spanish Sahara, now engaged in a territorial war with Morocco. And it is a client that just could be more trouble than it's worth. A raw, exciting novel of oil, arms, and bloody civil war, BARAKA is also very much the story of love and friendship, and of the ambitions, desires, and values which threaten to rip them apart. And at the novel's core: the great moral conflict when good and evil are not easily discernible - and when the ultimate stakes could mean betrayal and sudden death. Set against the exotic backdrop of Thailand, Vietnam, Morocco, and Algeria, BARAKA weaves a mesmerizing tale of courage and corruption, of dreams found and lost. It is a novel that makes for edge-of-the-seat reading . . . a story you will not soon forget. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. N° de réf. du vendeur 2304ec281
