Fifteen year-old Thomas Wisby was enjoying summer vacation on a ranch where he lived alone with his mother. He was looking forward to the start of soccer practice a few weeks away, but, he didnt know that his life was about to change, as he embarks on a magical adventure that takes him where only dreams were thought to go. He didnt know what happened to his father, who went missing five years ago, but he was going to find out, and have to come to grips with many things he didnt know, including who he really was and where he truly belonged. To Thomas, magic was only illusions performed by magicians. He was about to discover how wrong he was. There was a place waiting for him, so far removed from his world, that it would be challenging for any normal person to comprehend. But Thomas wasnt normal.

The Quiet American
Author: Graham Greene
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504052544
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
A “masterful . . . brilliantly constructed novel” of love and chaos in 1950s Vietnam (Zadie Smith, The Guardian). It’s 1955 and British journalist Thomas Fowler has been in Vietnam for two years covering the insurgency against French colonial rule. But it’s not just a political tangle that’s kept him tethered to the country. There’s also his lover, Phuong, a young Vietnamese woman who clings to Fowler for protection. Then comes Alden Pyle, an idealistic American working in service of the CIA. Devotedly, disastrously patriotic, he believes neither communism nor colonialism is what’s best for Southeast Asia, but rather a “Third Force”: American democracy by any means necessary. His ideas of conquest include Phuong, to whom he promises a sweet life in the states. But as Pyle’s blind moral conviction wreaks havoc upon innocent lives, it’s ultimately his romantic compulsions that will play a role in his own undoing. Although criticized upon publication as anti-American, Graham Greene’s “complex but compelling story of intrigue and counter-intrigue” would, in a few short years, prove prescient in its own condemnation of American interventionism (The New York Times).
