Synopsis
Painting a vivid picture of Nigeria in the recent past, Pero is the story of four young men who become close friends despite very different backgrounds: one is an African Christian, one is a Pagan, one is a Nigerian Muslim, and the last is a white missionary kid from the U.S. As often happens, the boys go their separate ways as they grow into men.
They are reunited, however, when one of them chooses a course of terrorism and destruction: the others must find the way to cross the years of separation and stop their old friend before many innocent people die.
In part a coming-of-age story of special friendships, Pero is also a suspenseful tale set in today's headlines that builds to a gripping conclusion.

About the Author
A skilled carpenter and builder by trade, Tim Burtner avoided writing a book as long as he could, heeding the advice of his college professor to her class, "There are enough authors and books, do something else if you can."
Finally, this book leapt out of him anyhow. Although it is purely fiction, it did not hurt that he is a missionary kid from the Brethren tradition.
