Justin the Traveller

Justin, the Traveller is set in 1990 in an unnamed, indeed, fictional Central American country in the late stages of a civil war. The main character Justin is a semi-retired businessman, a casual traveller, content to float along the surface of the places he visits, interested in a little adventure, enjoyment, pleasure; little else. Having "put in his time" he is intent on "getting what's coming to him" What's coming to him turns out to be a little different from what he had in mind, but when he ceases drifting along the surface, perhaps he starts to get somewhere, though he no longer goes anywhere. As he becomes a part of this place, this exotic land which becomes home, he is witness to its beauty and its brutality.
