Jawota Garube is the capricious, often-brutal and semiliterate leader of Ghat, a neighbor of Idi Amin's Uganda. After being menaced by mysterious Africans in England and France, the independent and resourceful Halliday hits on an ingenious scheme. He assembles a machine that transmits low-frequency "infra-sounds" that can cause effects from nausea to highly localized earthquakes. How Halliday uses this physiological compulsion on Garube forms the violent climax of the book. The plot is clever and the action fast and usually bloody. ". Seller Inventory # 18471
