We The Enemy is Peter Essex's second compelling novel set in the strange and exotic lands of South Africa. It combines hard-hitting action with a brilliant finger on the pulse of South Africa and her tribes.
Montague Law is a doctor, whose sweetheart was killed years ago by multiple sclerosis. He has heard of a wonder-cure for the terrible disease in the possession of the tribal witch-doctors, and sets off into the Lebombo mountains intent on finding it. But he does not realise the dangers, or how quickly the unsuspecting can be manipulated by the supernatural powers the greatest witch-doctors have under their control.
Kirsten, Law's dynamic raven-haired sister, is not so naive. Using the resources of the tempestuous Mark Ingram, who is building an enormous dam in the heart of the Lebombos, she determines to find and rescue her lost brother. But the witch-doctors have plans of their own for Law: he has been identified as the prophet of the rebirth of the Zulu nation, and the one who will lead them to the lost inkatha, the symbol of Zulu power. So the chief sangoma, she of the Eyes of Rain, leads Law deeper and deeper into her mysterious spiritual world . . .
