Description
Moss and de Borchgrave’s novel focuses on reporter Robert Hockney's investigation of race relations in America that uncovers elements of a master conspiracy launched by Fidel Castro to exacerbate class and ethnic tensions in the United States, through terrorism, subversion, and assassination. Drawing on their experience as reporters and foreign correspondences, Moss and de Borchgrave spend a majority of the interview tracing out the connections between fact and fiction in the novel. They wrote the novel to help the average American reader get inside the mind of “alien individuals” to develop a better understanding the covert world of revolution, subversion, and terrorism confronting Americans in the early 1980s. Moss and de Borchgrave also discuss how they approach the process of writing individually and collectively (research, theme, drafting, etc.).
