As he lay in his sickbed in Loughborough in the English Midlands in April 2020, battling COVID-19, the author, a medical doctor, brooded over various issues, including the never-ending misery of his native Africa.
In what can be described as an extraordinary extraterrestrial visitation, he is suddenly transposed into the past, back to his junior doctor's days in Germany. He finds himself driving in his car through the little German town.
Stadtoldendorf, 70 kilometres to the southwest of the city of Hannover, on his once weekly home-visit rounds to patients unable to attend the Family Doctor's practice for various reasons.
After driving along the familiar roads displaying the familiar scenery of a typical developed western European town for a while, the scene suddenly changes. Instantaneously, he finds himself driving along a dusty road bounteous in gaping potholes through a thick jungle.
Just at the outskirts of a settlement, his journey is brought to an abrupt end by a puncture.
To his amazement, he recognizes striking similarities in the shapes of the heads of residents who poured into the street to come to his aid with the outline maps of various African countries.
Follow the extraordinary development as he is called upon to cure a mysterious condition afflicting one of the most prominent residents of the community.
A remarkable narration, a political fiction extraordinaire.
