The Kali Pact

Résumé du livre

Major Simon Foster is a member of a UN peacekeeping mission in Kashmir, patrolling the tense cease fire line between India and Pakistan. Here, he rediscovers Margitte, whose opiate addiction tragically ended their Cold War idyll, a history traced in The Phoenix Cage, Book 2 of The Faust Legacy. Drawn to each other again like moths to a flame, they court a devastating vengeance. Simon's past also surfaces in the person of a UN apparatchik and former Cypriot EOKA terrorist. In the high Karakorums soldiers of Pakistan's army become innocent victims of betrayals and intrigues with obscure origins in the fortunes of SS Haupsturmfhrer Reinhardt Faustenach, antihero of The Lame King, Book 1 of The Faust Legacy Quartet. Fortune's labyrinth ends where Germany's dictator began before World War 2, with stark justice for another tyrant, Pakistan's Zia-ul-Haq. In The Kali Pact Brodsky makes masterly use of history's open questions, leading the reader to wonder where-or even if-fact and fiction part ways.
