Horace, a law student at Harvard, is soon at the center of a "PROGRAM" designed to enable time sequence ----- time travel.In this rush for new science there are men like the mysterious DEMETRI IVANOVICH, who - appears to have melted from the Russian cold war and right into the slash suburbs of America. Men like TIMMY, the Texan, - eager and ready for the next frontier. HORACE must ultimately contend with who he is and what time-change does for the human heart.KEN SIBANDAAlso the author of The Songs of Soweto: Poems from a Post Apartheid South Africa (Africa World Press), writing in his first novel, has penned a modern tale of origins and development, a bildungsroman, about HORACE BATES and how he became a man and of the consequences of modern science.FROM THE PUBLISHERIn his first book since the publication of the Songs of Soweto ten years ago, Ken Sibandas The Return to Gibraltar is a powerful epitaph to the invention of culture at Babel.PRAISE FOR THE SONGS OF SOWETOThe Songs of Soweto enters the South African political dialogue with enough edge to swing the faces of old foes apart and demand to know- - when do we meet in truth?James Burger
