In the mind of the terrorist. The original novel about the psychology of terror - written by one of the first professional terrorists. A literary discovery! He holds a British passport, and he is supposedly English. Accompanying him are four accomplices: a bomb maker and three men tasked with scouting the victim and assisting in the attack. Each of them wants to throw the bomb. A life on a razor's edge. Part of the group has already come to terms with everything, while others are filled with feverish emotions: the bomb maker is in love with the first-person narrator, and one of the accomplices is in love with her; his fear that the bomb might explode during assembly and tear them apart is no figment of the imagination. The conversations among the four revolve around God, death, and nothingness; each day could be the last, and every sentence could be a legacy. Their target is the Governor-General, who is anticipating an assassination attempt.
