Showing results for "john" in Terrorism

Jean Garnier lives on the fringes - a lonely nobody who has lost everything dear to him. His girlfriend was killed in an unexplained accident, his mother has just been sent to prison - he has even lost his job after the sudden death of his boss. In one last, desperate cry for help, Jean sets up seven lethal bombs, hidden all over Paris and timed so that one will explode every 24 hours. After the first detonation, Jean gives himself up to the police. He has one simple demand: his mother must be released, or the daily explosions will continue.

In the near future, Africa collapses into an enormous failed state, leaving the continent lawless and severely depopulated. For most, the breakdown brings horror, but for others - the outcast, the desperate, the criminal, and the insane - it allows unparalleled opportunity: a new frontier of danger and unlimited possibility.

Doch für John geht es um mehr als die Rettung von Menschenleben: In einer der bedrohten Städte leben seine Frau und sein Sohn.
