Mr. Baker employed remarkable, cinematic precision in his vivid descriptions of a place he had never seen. Baker wrote: “...all of what I know about the people and the country has come from printed matter, TV, and from conversations with people who have been there....the war in Europe has been well-covered by writers on both sides. The Pacific War has practically no fiction centered on the Japanese side. Since they were able to conquer so much territory, it hasn’t been difficult to choose a setting for a novel.”
The author chose the island as the setting for an entangling conflict between a Japanese man and woman with opposing viewpoints as to the consequences of war. Baker drove them into the jungle across punishing terrain that tore at their bodies as the battle of words raged. There is in this artful building of suspense and vitriol a story of great magnitude and insight. In the telling of it, Mr. Baker speaks to the depth and resilience of human dignity in the face of hopelessness. Available at: http://www.web-e-books.com/zengo/index.html ( )
