Obamanos! Andrew Uzendoski has retreated to northern Thailand, where he's running a longboat on the Salween River. On the nearby Thai-Burma border, the world's longest-running civil war, the Burmese-Karen conflict, rages into its 60th year. But Andrew, who lives a solitary, simple life in the mountains and jungles fishing and catching poisonous snakes to sell, has long given up fighting, even as medics, mercenaries, rebels and peace workers pass by on their way to the war-torn region. That has changed since missionaries have been captured by the Burmese Army. Pastor Arthur Marsh has turned to Andrew for help. Although the United States military trained Andrew to be a lethal super soldier in Vietnam, decades later Andrew’s reluctance for violence and conflict are palpable, his scars faded, yet visible. However, the lone warrior knows what he must do.
