'An Act of Terror belongs to that small group of novels embracing a country's ethos and history in one panoptic vision... Peter Carey... Garcia Marquez... Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Andre Brink must be considered with that class of writer' - Guardian `A massive apartheid thriller centred on a plot to blow up none other than the State President outside the gates of Cape Town Castle. . . Brink at his robust and imaginative best' - Adam Low, Daily Telegraph. A profound novel set in South Africa that combines compelling action with an intellectual confrontation of the author's poitically volatile home country. A brave masterpiece from Booker Prize shortlisted, award-winning author Andre Brink.
