About Me


Mike and Eddie are two young soldiers from the nation of Carbonia, lifelong best friends and frustrated musicians who now find themselves half a world away from home, conducting reconnaissance patrols deep in the forests of Xamon. They are increasingly disillusioned, afraid their military service is not to the people of Carbonia, but to the profit statements of SangreDenar, a corporation from Carbonia with large logging interests in Xamon. Digna Giraldo Cardona is a human rights activist from Xamon City, drawn to the forests to investigate persistent rumors of human rights abuses by paramilitary mercenaries linked to SangreDenar, determined to see for herself what is happening in the most remote, and dangerous, part of her country. This is the world of Xamon Song, a view from the ground of the meeting of cultures, of the human costs of corporate malfeasance and governmental collusion. The result is a novel that is alarming and unforgettable - achingly human, disturbingly real.
