Odd Scratches!

About the Book

Odd Scratches! is a dramatic work of art depicting all developed and developing societies that suffer from any kinds of socio-economic and political intimidations. Hamuli and Wembe are antagonists; these two power hungry leaders accelerate genocide in Isaka and causing mistrusts and divisions among Isakans due to false beliefs and politics. The book opens and broaches some hideouts of terrorists on Busangi Island where the most wanted people as Mapelelo and his son Godson originate. Mr. and Mrs. Godson are trickery killed by Wembe in Ntobo forest and no one in Isaka knows the lungfish mystery. Human rights, freedom of the press, total free and fair elections, transparency, unity, peace, justice, injustice and freedom are some of themes being well portrayed under active characters. Witchcraft, romance, love, sex business, and general science fiction are well drawn in order to balance readers' literary visualizations and vivid solutions.
