Heartfire Rendezvous Jamal Ali

In Heartfire Rendezvous, Book III - Culmination sweeps the cadre across Africa's lap in spirals of adventure and battle, outer & within. In the Palisades, family weaving looms, wriggling tightly or breaching internal cocoons in chrysalis evocations. Recognition rises, for each and all, as they make preparations for Egypt. In the middle of the cadre's arduous trek, at the pinnacle of sacrifice, prophecy is fulfilled, and paths are revealed. Tested, but renewed, the cadre begins the long climb up the mountains. Arriving in Cairo, the family is greeted by a guide, and meets an unexpected helper in the marketplace. Armed with tools and revelation, they are awed at the gift of the great sun ship, and begin their dash up the twisting gauntlet of the Nile. Their nemesis has swirled and seized the mountain, the broad bowl of the Great Lake its canvas. Attacks surge around the cadre, an insidious relentless pursuit to the headwaters, and north to the duel at Abu Simbel. "Heartfire Rendezvous is a Lord of the Rings for people of the tropics. This trilogy is a giant step forward in 21st century speculative fiction." Dr. David L. Horne
