Broken Wings

About the Book

As Namibia struggles to rebuild the country with the first elected government, predators circle as they always do. They use this time as an opportunity to set up business at all cost; greed drives the day-to-day existence, and ruthless business people use corrupt officials to further business ventures. Marie Louw is a girl with broken wings after she is violently attacked by four predators. She runs to her high school sweetheart; he knows exactly how to handle this situation. In Broken Wings, author Chris Norris writes a fast-paced story based on the life of Eben Basson, his valued friend, Lucas, and the love of his life, Marie Louw. The story is based on the experiences and dreams of two young lovers and how Africa shaped their lives. Eben and Marie’s lives are cemented by their friendship from a very young age and their dream to explore Africa with their friend, Lucas. They uncover a deadly ring in the underbelly of animal fighting and poaching, and now they have to fight for their lives. From police corruption to international greed, this is a game where only the fittest will survive. Tammy Blake, the daughter of Mandy and Vince Blake, a wealthy business man, befriends Marie and Eben to uncover and expose this blood sport. She finds herself in the middle of an explosive situation with deadly consequences. This is Africa where life is cheap and most people take what they need at gunpoint, a lesson Tammy will have to learn in order to survive. The outcome is by no means certain for the happy couple that set out to discover Africa and rekindle their love for one another.
