Rebuild the Moon

Trip Mackintosh

In a New York hospice, Jon is slowly wasting away. But it is not a peaceful passing - haunted by frequent and vivid nightmares of an unspeakable crime, Jon summons his lawyers to change his will. He instructs them to leave his entire fortune to the clan of the San Bushmen he hunted in 1955. This leaves his legal team, and his two living sons, stunned and perplexed. An investigation into Jon's past reveals the chilling truths about ethnic persecution and the legal hunting of humans that occurred in the isolated sands of the Kalahari. Some secrets should be taken to the grave... or should they?

About Author

Trip Mackintosh

Trip Mackintosh has loved the people and places of Africa since his service as a Peace Corps volunteer (1979–81). Following an international legal career, he turned his passion to telling stories of Africa that needed to be heard. He is now an award-winning author of several novels set on the continent. His first, Rebuke the Wind, is a tribute to the courageous, ordinary people of the Sahel who confront Boko Haram, the world’s largest terrorist organization. He takes readers to a place too dangerous to visit, portraying with compassion the innocent lives impacted by the terrorists’ violent ideology. His second book, Rebuild the Moon (Pegasus 2023), is a compelling story of redemption and forgiveness set in the Kalahari. The novel is a metaphor for racial relations in sub-Saharan Africa, telling the story of an aged South African seeking absolution for having persecuted San Bushmen.
