You are in a country where gunfire breaks out sporadically, the security forces are fighting each other, and rock throwing gangs roam the neighborhoods burning down houses. Your home government offers to fly you out on an airforce plane. What do you do? You take up the offer! This song depicts the feeling of driving flat out to the airport in army vehicles, while all the time wondering whether a stray bullet or rock is going to fly by, or an illegal road block prevent or delay you reaching your goal.
About Me
- Peter Ninnes
- I'm the author of the "Hiking, Walking and Biking Nagano" series of guidebooks, the "Nagano Onsen Guide", and a range of academic works from a previous life. With Miyairi Sachiko, I translated and edited 23 stories for "Legendary Nagano: Folk Tales and Legends from the Roof of Japan". I'm working on a trilogy of novels in the Cross-Cultural Encounter/Adventure/Romance genre. (That's a genre title that I just invented right now, in case you're wondering why you never heard of it). The working titles of the three books are "The Fragrance of the Night", "The Echo of the Sea" and "The Silence of the Storm".
