Escape from Amerika

ESCAPE FROM AMERIKAThe lime is two years from now. Disk-jockey Jack Parker is fleeing the Homeland Security Police because of a subversive letter he has written. He borrows a plane from a friend, flies to Florida and borrows a boar belonging to his ex-wife. He sails through a storm to a small island in the Caribbean, where he meets Malena Devereaux. She is a Spanish woman running from her husband, who is pursuing her to get hold of her substantial wealth. The husband is playing a sadistic game with her. Homeland Security, made up of thugs and the dregs of formerly unemployed law enforcement officers, is not playing games. For Parker it is dead or alive.' He and Malena team up and escape to Spain, only to be tracked down. They return full circle to the Caribbean, where both Devereaux and the U.S. authorities converge on them. Trapped on a tiny island, they make a desperate last effort to shuck off their pursuers.This is H. R. Coursen's 21st novel.
