and The Game played on: zeitgeist fomented by xenophobia - Paperback

by Tony Kubek (Author)

Two young boys/men from disparate cultural and socioeconomic strata endure the pangs of bigotry. They are deemed expendable, each victimized by zeitgeist fomented by xenophobia. Despite taunts and ridicule, they survive the narrow-mindedness. The protagonist is unwittingly entangled in an anti-government militia that threatens his and his family's safety. He is also cajoled into joining a controversial research project. The other boy/man faces imminent death. They never meet but are linked by an ethereal symbiosis. Bert and Tanako were often within shouting distance, once at Hiroshima, Japan, on the other side of the world.
