Tandia is a child of all Africa: half Indian and half African, beautiful and intelligent, she is only 16 when she is first brutalized by the police.  Her fear of the white man leads her to join the black resistance movement, where she trains as a terrorist.  With her in the fight for justice is the one white man Tandia can trust, the welterweight champion of the world, Peekay.  Now he must fight their common enemy in order to save both their lives.

This sequel to Bryce Courtney's classic novel The Power of One is a compelling story of good and evil from Australia's most popular storyteller.  Definitely a five star rating*****.
