The shattering sound of the machine gun seemed to tear into Mohamed's heart. Tears watered his eyes, and he covered his mouth as if to control his urge to vomit. He bowed his head and walked away. He vowed that he would never again play a part in such a ridiculous charade.Mohamed Jama Adam was able to overcome the desolate poverty of his childhood, but will he be able to overcome the oppression of corrupt government leaders? As a lawyer specializing in corporate law, Mohamed became suspicious when he was assigned to an ambiguous government case. He became even more suspicious when he discovered that he had no time to prepare, no time to gather witnesses, and no time to consult with his clients—six former government officials charged with treason against a brutal dictator. With a great desire to improve conditions in the leadership of his country, Mohamed began publishing an anonymous newsletter, fittingly titled Nuovo Orizzonte, or New Horizon. Just as each new day dawns beyond the eastern horizon, Mohamed dreamed of a new beginning for his homeland. For this dream, he was rewarded by being incarcerated in the top secret, maximum security prison in Lanta Bur. By an absolute miracle, after several years of incarceration, Mohamed manages to escape. It is then that he is confronted with a deteriorated homeland and must decide whether or not he has the courage to fight for his country, his love. Based on actual events, Resurrection at Lanta Bur is a powerful story of love and faith, of hate and betrayal.
