One Degree South is a sweeping tale of love, politics and witchcraft set in the oil-rich nation of Gabon just as the Cold War ends. The U.S. relationship with African dictators suddenly changes and election fervor, which dominates the headlines in African capitals, sweeps through the remotest of tiny villages. Stephen L. Snook's One Degree South is one of the most powerful first novels I've ever come across. Snook is both a master storyteller and a perceptive and insightful observer. The novel is part love story, part political narrative and part supernatural thriller. - Twin Cities Arts & Opera Critic William Randall writing at www.GOODREADS.com Stephen L. Snook's One Degree South is a colorful African tapestry of romance, mystery and a little witchcraft. This debut novel by an author who worked in Africa for 25 years is a perfect summer read. - Mary Ann Grossmann, Saint Paul Pioneer-Press Stephen L. Snook is a specialist in international development who has spent over 25 years living and working in Africa. In addition to Gabon, where he served as a Peace Corps volunteer, he has worked in (or visited) Botswana, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Steve has a doctorate in political science from the University of Florida. He is married, the father of three daughters, and currently lives in Vermont. This is his first novel.
