Tragedy in Sudan makes great setting for novel

The Sudan’s worsening crisis is the perfect backdrop for a gritty, modern tale of intrigue and romance, reported paperback author Gary Bentham, who is currently working on a thriller entitled The Last Freedom.

“The Sudanese situation is a nightmare combination of ethnic tensions, a corrupt government and a harsh environment,” said the Melbourne-based author. “It’s exactly the kind of place agent Clint Fleetwood swore he’d never go back to once he left the CIA. But now he has to face his enemies. And his biggest enemy is his past. Or an insane Arab militia commander with a terrible weapon, I haven’t decided yet.”

An August report on the pro-government Arab Janjaweed militia, accused of ethnic cleansing, rape and other atrocities against black civilians in Darfur, caught Bentham’s eye while working on the novel. “I was flicking channels, and for some reason – fate, I guess – I stopped on SBS. I was looking for a place with all the sinister danger of Iraq, but a bit more mysterious. I saw a cool-looking Arab guy on a horse with a rifle, and thought “Jackpot!” Then when the casualty figures came up, I couldn’t have been happier.”
