Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Vortex is a 1993 novel by Larry Bond. An entry in the Possible War genre, the novel was set in The Apartheid Era in South Africa. In this Alternate History, a successful attack by the African National Congress kills the moderate leaders of South Africa, enabling a reactionary government led by Karl Vorster to take power. Vorster promptly pulls a political 180, returning the country to strict apartheid, suppressing the media, and leading South Africa into a war with its former colony, Namibia, and her Cuban and Angolan backers. As the forces of Apartheid and Communism battle one another for control of the world's strategic minerals, and South Africa slips further and further into chaos, an American intervention may be the only way to salvage anything from the ruins of what was once Africa's most propserous country. |
