      "An American pilot crash lands in the desert and takes refuge in the very camp he was suppose to bomb. Hallucinating palm trees and worrying about dehydrating to death isn't what Major Ellie expected from this mission. Still, it's an improvement on the constant squabbles with his wife back at home. In the camp, teenager Momo's money-making schemes are failing. His brother left for his first day at work and never returned, his parents are at each other's throats, his dog is having a very bad day, and an aid worker has shown up wanting to research him for her book on the Teenage Muslim Mind"--Front dust jacket flap

      Reimagines conspiracies and coincidences leading to the mysterious 1988 plane crash that killed Pakistan's dictator General Zia ul-Haq. Intrigue and subterfuge combine with misstep and luck in this darkly comic book about love, betrayal, tyranny, family, and a world unexpectedly resembling our own. Provocative, exuberant, wickedly clever.
