Nothing could be more true for Skye MacIain, as battlelines between
forces of good and evil were being drawn in ultimate combat for his soul.
This humanitarian relief professional had served those in need in over
60 countries. While he and his colleagues had impacted millions of lives,
Skye could no longer stand by while entire generations were doomed to
destruction, preyed upon by faceless devils who perpetuated their wealth
and power at the pointed end of massacres and melees cloaked in crisis.
Skye was losing all other options to crossing the ethical point of no
return as an avenger for the innocent against agents of evil and greed who
profited from the death of the world’s poor.
It is ironic that, while millions of deaths among the destitute dulled the
senses, a kill shot through the head of a CEO with the blood of thousands
on his hands was heard around the world and awaken both those who
benefitted from genocide and others who would die to end it. Some
casualties of multinational and institutional murder were caught in the
middle – like Keezie, Layla and Moses. Others, like Sean, Skye and Jack,
were forced into the fray when they could no longer stand by while the
innocent perish.
And so began a conflict between the damned and the just worthy of
Saint Michael himself, catalyzed with a single bullet through the head
of the EuroMining International CEO, whose explosive retort echoed off
skyscrapers in a posh European city. Unsure of who pulled the trigger,
powerful forces were arrayed against Collins, MacIain and Lozi, their
comrades; led by a multi-billionaire Swiss bank president and CEO of
multinational mining company backed by blood money flowing from
the hands of Bosnian Serb warlord; for brokered land and mineral rights
in and around Rwanda, DRC; sold for pennies to the Peoples Republic of
China and other suitors; seized through Interanhabwe Hutu - outsourced
murders whose actions were written off to the world as ‘tribal conflict.’
Far from nameless, the players in this heinous and profitable saga were:
Francois DeGalle, President, DeGalle Banque Suisse and CEO of
EuroMining International.
