«È così dappertutto: o si viene mangiati o si mangia.»
La storia dei piccoli Hojo e Asami spezza il cuore, ma la tragica esperienza che hanno vissuto durante la di Kampuchea Democratica di Pol Pot ha plasmato entrambi e li ha resi ciò che oggi sono: due individui pronti a tutto pur di rovesciare completamente la loro corrotta realtà, disposti a qualsiasi cosa pur di arrivare al loro Santuario – insieme.

Continua il thriller politico di Fumimura e Ikegami, in un perfetto equilibrio tra azione, politica, economia, e un pizzico di humor tipicamente giapponese che stempera l’ ambientazione altresì decisamente seria. La trama cresce e nuovi personaggi si aggiungono in continui colpi di scena che tengono il lettore incollato alle pagine. Un capolavoro che merita considerazione.

Storia eccellente e raccontata con tempi ed intrecci notevoli. È del 1990 circa ma risulta ancora attuale non suo racconto tra mafia, politica e controllo del potere
