Fractured Empires - Paperback

by Christian Fourie (Author)

Namibia has just discovered it may be rich beyond imagining. Offshore fields in the Orange Basin. Gas. Oil. The kind of reserves that change a country's trajectory - and draw the world's attention before the ink is dry on the geological survey. President Nadi-Omunongo has governed through harder things than this. But she has never governed through this particular pressure - sovereign wealth becoming a target, information becoming a weapon, and five great powers manoeuvring for position before Namibia has even decided what it wants. Elena Voss arrives from Caracas carrying evidence of what happens when a small nation's resources are claimed before its sovereignty can catch up. The world does not wait for small countries to be ready. Fractured Empires is a geopolitical thriller about sovereignty, information and the quiet wars fought in rooms with no cameras.
