The Crier of Kathmandu

Andy Potter

Love is perilous at any time. Then there's love and politics in war-time. Nothing better to get to the heart of the matter.


Nepal, 2005: The country is in a downward spiral, caught in the crossfire of a Maoist revolution.

Ryan, a Canadian journalist in Kathmandu, doesn’t want to leave. He loves Nepal but is also captivated by Pema, a fellow political activist and Sherpa beauty. He and Pema were once medical aid smugglers who helped heal wounded Maoist soldiers.

Ryan’s political arc was set in motion twenty years previously when he met Lance, a carpe diem Englishman with a well-disguised conscience, and Carrie, an entrancing Newfoundlander.

Now, in 2005, Ryan supports a peaceful solution to Nepal’s civil strife. The country’s hard-line Maoists detest his position. Pema distrusts his middle-road stance. He learns that the more perilous the times, the more confusing love is.


*** NOTE to Thriller/Action Fans ***
Although co-labeled a thriller, the action is driven by character as much as geopolitics.

Complete at 80,000 words.
