The intervention of a quadriplegic saved Nguyen Huu Minh from a mugging on the
streets of Baltimore while attending Johns Hopkins University. That man’s faith
changed Minh’s life.

Minh’s new faith brings him into conflict with his father’s business interests in
Vietnam and the mysterious powers supporting his father. Estranged from his father
and shunned by his family, Minh learns to support himself by working as a translator
for Americans coming to Vietnam during the waning years of the war.

Finally, with the fall of Vietnam, another man’s intervention provides Minh with what
he needs to flee the doomed country. With a boat, a crew, and a group of passengers,
including a young French nun, Sister Carlene, and the thirty-five orphans she has
charge of, Minh starts his escape to Thailand.

But Minh learns that there are some enemies that cannot be fled from; instead,
these adversaries must be faced and resisted. He discovers that he is in the middle of
a war, not with flesh and blood, but with spiritual powers bent on destroying him and
all those seeking escape.

Minh discovers what intervention is when he must risk everything to save those he
loves. In the process, he experiences the reality of the spiritual war that rages unseen
by most.

Charles de Andrade’s books draw on places he has lived, people he’s met, friends he’s
made, and stories he’s been told.
