This gripping novel brilliantly straddles the divide between
thrillers and literature. Moinul Ahsan Saber here tells the story
of Kobej Lethel, a ruthless soldier of fortune employed by a
corrupt village chief. Lethel has never had a problem with the job
before: he gets an assignment and handles it, even if that entails
violence. But during Bangladesh's War of Independence, the chief
sides with the Pakistani army as it carries out unspeakable
atrocities. Suddenly, Lethel can no longer accept his role--he
refuses, and rebels. But the transformation proves temporary: by
the end of the war, he's back to his old ways, fighting for nothing
more than a paycheck, on nothing more than an order. A powerful
novel of war, history, and the deadly draw of violence, The
Mercenary is an unforgettable look into the mind of a man who
cannot escape the killing that has become his occupation.
