Who thinks running guns to Africa should be a nice little earner? Who’s accidentally acquired a soccer-mad private army of child soldiers? What happened at the Glue Factory? Who forgot to switch off the fountains? Oh, and by the wayWhy is Africa’s richest country so poor?Someone thinks it’s time for ‘régime change’ in an oil-rich African country.

Editorial : About the Author
Rory Harden lives in London with his wife, Nancy, and two adopted cats, Spike and Monty. He enjoys travel, books, music and computer programming. And he plays guitar and bass – not too badly, sometimes.
Lots of great info on a plethora of topics. But my favorit book on modern art is the ARTODAY. We remember episodes such as childbirth by the extreme of pain, not the duration.
Lift decision: do we live life for the present experience, or the anticipated memories? Are we hedonists, or Japanese/German tourists photographing everything to better enjoy the memories?.

And it's fun to think that one day a crazy paranormal romance might apply to your life.
The biggest weakness of FOREVERMORE is the ending. When I picked it up, I was interested to be reading about the lives of immigrants from El Salvador, as I had never found much on that subject or any other South American country for that matter.
