✦ Synopsis

A government job. Raucous parties and love affairs. Gunrunning at the weekends. What could go wrong?

The Mission Impossible assignment from Nelson Mandela's organization was straightforward: Frank George was to go to Swaziland, get a job, and smuggle weapons into South Africa for the fight against apartheid. Based on a true story, Our Man in Mbabane follows Frank's gunrunning exploits supporting the African National Congress in the late 1970s. In between harrowing escapades, he banters with friends and has two turbulent romances, all while learning of the daily indignities and horrors of apartheid. This historical espionage thriller will have you on the edge of your seat one moment and laughing the next as Frank shifts between ANC missions, romantic affairs, and boisterous social outings.

"It's a cliché that good fiction ought to transport readers to new and unfamiliar worlds, but that's exactly the reading experience this novel offers."-Dominic Wakeford, freelance editor

"Before reading Our Man in Mbabane, I never thought I'd like to visit Africa. Now I do."-Alison Imbriaco, freelance editor

"...the narrative voice is terrific: simultaneously full of life and authority..."
