Frank's Independence Day

Dedication

The more I researched this book, the more I came to appreciate the amazing work of the career Foreign Service Diplomats who serve throughout the world. These include Lewis Lukens, the current ambassador to Senegal as of this writing, who does indeed travel frequently to Guinea-Bissau despite its incredible instabilities. This book is dedicated to those brave people striving to make the world a better place.

All African and Central American events occurring prior to this story’s setting are as accurate as possible, though this is entirely a work of fiction.
