A nation divided. A desperate path to freedom. At the Mexican border, refugees from Cordova march toward "The Wall." Tensions explode as asylum seekers attempt to cross, until a gunshot echoes. This becomes the "Tragedy at The Wall," condemning Captain Green as the "Border Butcher."Haunted by the event, Green is drawn into a covert operation to save Cordova and his own soul. He finds himself in a Nevada desert hotel, the base of the "War Room," filled with experts. As Green navigates political intrigue and personal demons, he must confront a corrupt dictator and a brutal cartel. Can he find redemption amidst the chaos, or will the past consume him?
Reviews
"We were impressed with The Wall . . . Using a fascinating and sophisticated blend of socioeconomic and humanitarian issues, author Tetsuo Ted Takashima gives readers much to think about within an otherwise entertaining action thriller." —Best Thrillers
"The Wall is a powerful story of nation-building and changing hearts and minds. It will prove an attractively absorbing saga for any thriller reader who likes politics embedded in the actions and changing purposes of leaders and followers. The close inspection of the roots and minds of refugees creates an added dimension of understanding not present in most other genre reads." —D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review
". . . earnest mash-up of politics and espionage set in the near future . . ." —Publishers Weekly
