Readers of the African thriller "Moon Mountains" will discover this and many other details throughout an exciting and surprising kidnapping story. The atrocities committed by the rebels are depicted in a realistic manner. An eight-member travel group is kidnapped during a trekking tour in the Rwenzori Mountains. The background is complex and unfolds gradually. Uganda's tumultuous history is connected to Germany, creating genuine suspense, allowing readers to piece together and draw conclusions themselves. It's an enjoyable experience.
