From the explosive first pages, Lisa Harris weaves a tale of heart-stopping suspense and adventure with her second book in the Mission Hope Series. When fighting erupts between government forces and renegade Ghost Soldiers deep within the Republic of Dhambizao, thousands are forced to leave their homes. Dr. Paige Ryan, who works with Volunteers of Hope International, is sent to lead a team to set up a refugee transit site—where the immediate needs for shelter, water, sanitation, and food are critical. Nick Gilbert, a bush pilot for Compassion Air, joins the team to help fly supplies in and out of the area. With the refugee camp already experiencing overcrowding, raids, and uprisings, a group of American mountain climbers is attacked by the Ghost Soldiers. Paige's medical team responds immediately, rescuing survivors and taking them into the camp.

      Harris (Colorado Crimes), who lives in Mozambique, writes what she knows in the second book of the Mission Hope series. Dr. Paige Ryan is working with the relief agency Volunteers of Hope in the fictional African Republic of Dhambizao. Insurgent Ghost Soldiers make life difficult, and deadly, for the government, and also make refugees of those fleeing the conflict. The rebels also disrupt a mountain climbing expedition, and Ryan's medical team, including pilot Nick Gilbert, face another emergency. When one of the climbers brings into the refugee camp an infectious disease, the stage is set for a humanitarian crisis, and American embassy diplomat Paul Hayes must respond. Harris sets up a complex and credible plot, with lots of points of tension. The characters' flaws add to the drama, although some may find Taz, the idealistic lawyer turned aid worker, a might too saintly. But resolution involves tragedy; it isn't simplistic. Harris's writing is engaging, and she is worth watching.
