An astonishing novel about the moral cost of war, from the author of the National Book Award-winning Redeployment.
Neither Mason, a US Special Forces medic, nor Lisette, a foreign correspondent, has emerged from America’s long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan unscathed. Yet, for them, war still exerts a terrible draw – the noble calling, the camaraderie, the life-and-death stakes. Where else in the world can such a person go?
All roads lead to Colombia, where the US has partnered with the local government to stamp out a vicious civil war and keep the predatory narco gangs at bay. Mason is ready for the good war and Lisette is more than ready to cover it.
A tale of extraordinary suspense, Missionaries is an astonishment whose unsparing drama is infused with a rare wisdom about the human heart.
'Missionaries is an urgent, detailed, compassionate and quietly furious novel about America and her Forever Wars. Intensely readable, exciting, funny and heartbreaking – it will change you.'
A.L.Kennedy, Booker-listed author
‘Shook me to my core. Klay takes the reader into the heart of Colombian darkness. This is audacious, heartbreaking, epic fiction.’
Mary Costello, author of The River Capture
