The Rainbow Revolution: A Russian nuclear colossus, a corrupt state president and a desperate struggle to save a failing country. - M. L. Smith - Bog

South African self-exile Pieter Rossouw is wandering the world's oceans aboard his catamaran when he receives a phone call from his estranged father running the family wine estate in Cape Town. A diagnosis of cancer is the news. Surviving an Atlantic hurricane he sails home only to discover it is a deception to lure him. The country is failing under an endemically corrupt ANC government. A covert revolutionary movement intent on overthrowing the government is stirring. His military history and a rare psychological condition make him a prime candidate for recruitment to it.Introduced to the movement's attorney Simon Zondo he is told it is his old commanding officer who is running the military adventure. His reticence evaporates. He in turn recruits two close friends, fellow combatants from the Angolan Border War days. A Russian nuclear reactor supplier with Jacob Zuma in its pocket emerges as a serious opponent working hard to protect its illegal multi-trillion state contract. Rossouw's unit is tasked in a ground-air attack to seize Zuma in his rural compound.
