The exhilarating debut political thriller from beloved BBC broadcaster George Alagiah
A gripping tale of events spinning out of control in a country struggling to redefine itself
Pacy and stylish; immensely gripping - what a read
George Alagiah manages to give us the best of both worlds: an absorbing, pacy thriller with great political depth
Combining fast-paced plotting with Alagiah's deep knowledge of the region, The Burning Land addresses the moral issues at the heart of the rainbow nation
Daring, jolting, prescient
A suspenseful and enlightening novel that portrays the extreme violence in the new South Africa with authority, precision of detail, and the kind of insight that makes the different factions and characters caught in the midst of the drama come vividly to life
Hugely topical, harrowing, humane and beautifully-written. Don't miss this
Vividly written and masterfully constructed, Alagiah's assured debut is full of suspense and sudden drama
As an insight into the machinations of life in a contemporary South Africa . . . it is a real eye-opener
Praise for George Alagiah: Courageous, controversial, compassionate
