Libya's Muammar Qaddafi is known to have "hit squads" in the major cities of Europe--trained assassins assigned to keep young Libyans in line and eliminate defectors. Despite being seriously threatened by pro-Qaddafi Arabs, an American couple vacationing in France attempts to help a young Libyan escape to the U.S. When Ben and Jo Caldwell develop a friendship with the young Libyan aircraft technician in Paris, they are warned that he could have possible connections with the notorious "Carlos group," entangling them in an international conflict. Other mysterious warnings send them to the Cote d'Azur, where Jo is kidnapped and held briefly as a hostage. Later, having reached the States with the Caldwells' help, their friend Ahmad is wounded by a Qaddafi death squad, prompting Ben to pursue the would-be assassin throughout Europe to a final confrontation at Cap d'Antibes. With settings in Europe, North Africa, and the U.S., the story incorporates humor, romance, and intrigue against a frightening backdrop of modern terrorism.
Like a Wild Flower is a World War II love story about three young people brought together by accident in the Manitoba outback. Paul Lubin is a sensitive, good-looking French Canadian who has been reared in an isolated farm community on Duck Mountain. Lovely Antoinette (Tonie) Dufay has been brought up to the age of 13 on a neighboring farm, but has spent six years in Winnipeg, including two at the University. She has become an awesome fusion of innocence and sensual awareness. Into their lives comes Martin Dorn, a Minnesota journalism graduate who has volunteered for pilot training with the RCAF. A proponent of adventure and youthful hedonism, he is Paul's antithesis and nemesis, a serious rival for Tonie's affection. How these three are affected by the conflicting elements of love and war makes for a poignant drama of extreme adversity tempered by incomparable joy.
