Lily Among Thorns
A Novel
Book Summary
Lloyd Zing, university lecturer, tells himself it does not really matter if he has sex with a female student who wants her exam scores influenced. Everybody does it. No one will know. The HOD, his boss, will not know. Besides, his wife is late. He does it and is infected with HIV. The monster is alive! In his dilemma, he gets hypnotized. He uses the virgin cure (the younger the age the more potent the cure) and rapes his four year old daughter. He commits suicide once he realises the deception. The monster rages!
Philip Zing, Lloyd's brother and urologist, learns what Lloyd has done. He is devastated but fights and redirects his passion to giving hope to the monster's victims. Philip has a lovely wife and a dreamer daughter whose dreams always come true.
CitE and the Cult
CitE is a gang of six powerful cultic stinking rich business gurus. Van Mirkovich is Don and leader. Together with his heartless CitE cohorts, wield powerful influences on the economies of many countries. No one trespasses their path without paying the ultimate price. They murder with impunity. The hit man is the notorious African American, T.M. Kay. Virgin cure myth is CitE's brainchild. SOMBC condoms and the nocuous JG vaccine equally trail behind. The propagator, Lady Sabrina Zithulele, rules supreme in the Southern Africa territories via their clinic Locale International. The monster is unleashed! The result? Death to the continent!
Hope and Resistance
Philip, with the help of his childhood friend Martin Musawenkosi, Prof Elettra B. Alessio, and Barrister Kayo Cadman, sets up a non-profit organization called Lily. They aim to give care and hope to those living with the monster. Through the likes of Lola, Bola, Chucks, Tunde, and Bibi—victims and non-victims but sympathetic campaigners—Lily's messages soon spread to all strata of society. Hope is born!
Conflict and Confrontation
CitE's new target is the economy of Africa's most populous country. CitE finds Lily, dangles bait and conditions. Would Lily accept marketing SOMBC condoms and the nocuous JG vaccine? Lily rejects the condition and offer. Lily is marked! Philip and Martin speak at the one million-man march against this monstrous Africa's plague in Windhoek, Namibia. The march turns out more vibrant than hoped for; colorful African dancers striving to outdo each other and more.
CitE becomes aggravated and vows to annihilate Lily. CitE is Lily's thorn. The contract is out! CitE sniper, Kay, does what he does best. He murders Martin Musawenkosi. Now, the hunter is haunted! Haunted? Not likely for a veteran killer, except... Then in a twist of faith, he turns around, quits CitE, and joins Lily. Faith triumphs!
Ongoing Struggles
CitE kills deserting members; such is the rule, written and must be so. Two attempts already failed. The Don and the Mobster, heartless Barbara Berthold, try again. And the CIA, what is their part in this? To choke Lily or root out the thorns? Hope lives on.
