Description
 IS A FATHER'S LOVE STRONGER THAN THE CHAINS OF SLAVERY?

Sudan 2000. 

          The largest nation in Africa has become a killing field. Two million tribal people are dead, victims of a brutal civil war or massacred by their own government in systematic, cold-blooded genocide. But that's not why human rights photojournalist Ron Wolfson is risking his life there. He's chasing action and danger on a different adventure--investigating reports of human trafficking, rumors of women and children who are auctioned off to the highest bidder and then vanish into the brutal shadow world of modern-day slavery. 

          When Arab Murahaleen guerrillas attack a small Dinka village and kidnap a little girl named Akin to sell on the slave market in the North, her father, Idris, goes after her--looking for one child among the hundreds of thousands who've already disappeared--and Ron joins the simple villager in his desperate mission. Ron's brother, a U.S. congressman, wages a battle just as desperate against apathy and indifference to force international political pressure on the government of Sudan, while Ron tracks the phantom story he knows is out there somewhere. 

          Determined to capture on film the horror of human beings in chains, sold like cattle, Ron incurs the wrath of a ruthless slave trader. Now, he and Idris face savage retaliation and a heart-breaking end to their quest. 

          Awaiting dawn and an unthinkable execution broadcast live around the world, the American journalist and the Dinka villager are forced to place their lives and the fate of their mission into the hands of a bloodthirsty mercenary and an orphan boy. Together they forge a reckless plan, their only hope of escape. But it may already be too late. 

          And it may be too late to save the little girl before her innocence is stolen and she vanishes forever into the belly of the beast. 


READERS praise Sudan 
(Goodreads and Amazon.com)

  • I encourage you to read this life-changing book. Get angry! Get upset! Be grossed out! Somewhere a Sudanese mother is waiting for someone to reach out a helping hand, for her children's sake. Mel "@MamaBuzz"
  • The worst thing about this book is that it isn't completely fiction. It grabs you by the throat and won't let you put it down until you've read the last page. You will hug your children closer after reading. K-Mor 
  • This book is not for the faint of heart - it deals with the atrocities committed in Sudan. Ninie weaves a spell-binding tale. One of the things I love about Ninie's books is that she does not feel the need to spruce everything up and make it pretty. E.L. Jenkins "Love to Read" 
  • "Sudan" captured my attention from the first page, and I read through the entire story in two days. This is gripping, emotional storytelling. Bestselling author Eric Wilson, Top 100 Amazon Reviewer
  • You thought human trafficking on the African continent was long gone. And you were WRONG! Sudan is an action and adventure novel centered on an age-old evil. But the book isn't classic HISTORICAL fiction--about slavery in America 200 years ago; rather it's a suspense filled ride through the bustling slave trade in the African country of Sudan ...TODAY! Even though the facts are historical, fiction books like this one put a face on the brutal horror of slavery, the real human tragedy, when the political world pretends not to see and refuses to take action. And adventure loving readers will revel in the ever-tightening suspense of a masterfully-told historical thriller with high stakes and no margin for error. Sarah Bridges
