Description
Fero knelt down. As he put his hands up he turned his head to look at the man pointing the gun. It was Wilt. Fero tried to look shocked. 'Dad? What are you doing here?'
Everyone seems to know who Fero is - except Fero. Is he a ruthless boy soldier from Besmar, or an innocent teen recruit from Kamau?
He's running out of time to decide. If he doesn't help a renegade spy steal a politician's briefcase, his two countries could end up in a full-blown nuclear war - the kind that no one wins.
