The Fifth Season

In the aftermath of Indonesia's economic collapse, Chinese women are targeted by the President's son-in-law's reckless, and brutal Special Forces. In an evolving Islamic climate, anti-Chinese sentiment drives the country to the brink of collapse as international interest is heightened by factual, photojournalist accounts, of true stories of survival. Given extra urgency by recent events, The Fifth Season predicted the Indonesian economic collapse and subsequent religious and political upheaval as well as links between Indonesian and Islamic extremist groups. A fascinating and eerily prescient look at recent and on-going events that must be read.
