Ruslan slipped
away from the café and the curious onlookers. He began to
run, not
knowing exactly why, but instinct making him head away from
the sea.... And in the distance, along the
seafront of Ujung Karang, screams rose from a hundred, a
thousand, mouths. Aceh, Indonesia. December
2004. Ruslan,
an Indonesian boy, and Sarah, an American girl, are brought
together in
the aftermath of the devastating tsunami. Ruslan is
searching for his
missing father, while Sarah is trying to get medical
treatment for her
sick brother. Together they travel through the destruction,
barely
believing all that they see. The Killing
Sea is a
high-stakes survival story that puts a human face on a terrible
tragedy. Richard Lewis, who lives in Indonesia, was there
during the
tsunami and worked as a relief worker in Aceh in the days
and weeks
following it. This novel is based on his firsthand
experiences.
