Publisher's Summary:

The Rebel Son is a story of love and vengeance, of violence and kindness, and of history and future stretching from America to Africa, and through it all, Jake Fallon loses the man he once was - a man who cared little for anyone but himself - and becomes the friend, the husband, and the father he was meant to be.

When Jake Fallon, a Vietnam draftee recently discharged from the war, suggests a hunting trip to the politically unstable Rhodesia in the mid-seventies, his Philadelphia Main Line family objects. But as with everything in Jake's life, he ultimately does exactly what he wants to do, the wishes of those who love him be damned. Jake and his best friend Brian enjoy several memorable weeks on safari. But on the return flight home, they are confronted with the political unrest that Jake's parents had warned him against. Jake has just gotten comfortable in his seat next to Sarah Malumbo, the most beautiful woman he has ever met, when a group of Zimbabwe freedom fighters shoots their Air Rhodesia commercial turbo prop aircraft out of the sky. Besides making a political statement, this act of terror also launches a series of events that leads to Brian's torture and death, the loss of Jake's memory, and a most unlikely love affair between Jake Fallon and Sarah Malumbo, a comely African ministry worker with a mysterious past. The two young lovers now must run for their lives. And as they flee, they will be forced to make many choices that will determine the fate of their lost love child, and family, both present and future.

Would love to know what the characters are doing 10 years ...

Whenever I had to put the book down, I couldn't wait to get back into it. Totally unique plot. Would love to know what the characters are doing 10 years later. Excellent.

I did not like this book

I did not like this book.its depiction of the freedom fighters in Rhodesia as being ruthless ans savages turned me off.the protagonist was just as ruthless..

Great read - easy to get through...authentic...

I enjoyed this - as I grew up in Africa I have to say he did a great job...the stories of the Viscounts downed by terrorists is one largely unknown...he brings it to life. For an EVEN more remarkable and TRUE story about these events see Viscount Down (Dotcom...) available as a kindle edition...The failure of nearly every Government to condemn these atrocities when Air Rhodesia Flight RH825, a scheduled passenger flight, with just civilians on board, was deliberately shot down by Communist-backed terrorists (ZIPRA) on 3 September 1978 - and then, 5 months later, in February 1979, another passenger airliner, RH827, another civilian flight, in an almost identical cowardly attack on innocents...by ZIPRA

There was a âDeafening Silenceâ from governments and the UN â and from the Churches of Rome and England!

This was articulated in the sermon by the late Very Reverend John da Costa known as The Deafening Silence. You can download a recording of his sermon at Viscountdown.com or a transcript is available at [...] See more [...]

The Rebel Son from [...]

Having read some of Guy Quigleys former books, I decided to acquire a copy of his latest novel "A Rebel Son" and I was not disappointed. It is a great love/adventure story that will appeal to both sexes. It spans continents and has more twists than a dangerous alpine road with descriptive passages of the African landscape that are breathtaking and transport you there.
