When an elderly couple save you from a bad death in the Sahara,
there's an honest debt to be paid. But this couple have unexpected
plans: one leads to the bedroom, the other an impossible trip back
to Europe where the author is wanted in Brussels for the murder of
the president of the European Union. In both cases, determined
killers lie in wait. Friends turn out to be, well, unfriendly.
Reappearing is Chris Heal's sequel to his semi-autobiographical
Disappearing. All he ever wanted to do was to shrug off his
identity, throw off the claws and trappings of government, big
business and petty bureaucracy. He wanted to become free of other
people trying to run his life. But the authorities weren't happy
with the idea. A senior policeman in National Counter Terrorism
said Heal's first book was 'subversive' and 'should not receive the
breath of publicity'. Another, attached to the European Commission,
called him an amoral, calculating, mass murderer. 'Whether alive or
not, he should be brought to book.' Heal's last journey takes him
through the decline of the French empire, the terror of Islamic
insurgency and the modern African slave trade. His nomadic life
leads him to places he really shouldn't visit; meeting people it's
best not to know. All the time, he follows clues that might lead
him to his unknown father, fearful of what he might find and might
have to relive. For a man in his seventies, Heal manages quite well
until the Chinese decide to take a hand. This is an intelligent
detective story, wrapped up in a global travel adventure and set
against the background of twentieth century history. What kind of
worthwhile freedom is possible in a technology driven planet run by
control freaks? Reappearing is also a scary prophesy of everyone's
near future in a world increasingly dominated by Chinese political,
military and commercial power.
