The Tyrant's Novel
by Tom Keneally
Trapped behind barbed wire in an alien land, a man used to guarding his secrets is compelled to set the record straight ... Imagine a faraway country that was once a friend of the West becoming the enemy, its people isolated and savagely repressed by a tyrant known as The Great Uncle. As one of the country's most celebrated writers and a war hero, the storyteller has a better life than most until he is made an offer he can't refuse. He must write a great novel, telling of the suffering of his people under the enemy's cruel economic sanctions and portraying The Great Uncle as their saviour. This masterpiece must be completed in time for its international debut in three months - or else. If the writer can't - or will not - meet the tyrant's deadline, he and anyone he cares for will pay the ultimate price.
