About the Book
In the minefield, death is only a step away
Gabriel Wolfe and his partner, Eli Schochat have flown to Cambodia to assassinate an ex-Khmer Rouge warlord. By a freakish stroke of good fortune, Win Yah dodges the bullet that would have exploded his skull. Wounded by a mine, Eli is captured, brutally beaten and taken into the forest to be executed. Gabriel must find her, evade recapture by the warlord’s heavily-armed gang, and get her to safety. Only then can he return to finish what Eli started. This 25,000 word novella from best-selling thriller author Andy Maslen kicks off with high-powered action and doesn’t let up until the final page. Mines litter the forest - and the plot - causing trouble for everyone who wanders off the path.
How you’re helping Cambodia’s poorest children get a decent start in life Andy wrote Minefield after visiting a rural school in northern Cambodia, whose grounds were carved out of a minefield. He is donating all royalties from the book to the Ponheary Ly Foundation (PLF). The PLF was set up by Ponheary Ly, herself a survivor of the Cambodian genocide. It gives vulnerable children an education, as well as a full belly and a real chance of making the most of their potential.
