G.O.D.

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. G.O.D. is the story of two men from two totally different background whose lives are correlated by the same plight; poverty and destitution. Though seperated by an entire ocean, their lives runs strangely parallel. Soon the lives of these two men clash in a bloody war erupted by the murder of a mutual acquaintance. Wally is an impoverished boy from the streets of Buffalo, New York. Hamid is raised in the destitute province of Helmand in Afghanistan. Both boys lose their fathers to murders early in their lives and their single mothers struggle to care for them, leaving the boys to fend for themselves the best way they can. After Wally is taken in by a local drug lord, he and his friends begin to climb out of poverty. After Hamid and his sisters are adopted by an Opium Lord from Afghanistan, he is sent to America for schooling and training for what his adopted father, Nasser, sees as his master plan to undermine America. Bigger than the lives of these two men, Wally and Hamid, however is the ubiquitous theme of individual perceptions of God that permeates the novel. This force's (God) presence, or the lack thereof, reflects the level of attrocities endured by each and every character. G.O.D. is the story of Gold, Oil & Drugs (G.O.D.) and the violent wars man finds himself in, in his worship of these vices.
