Giresun Island is a science fiction novel with third-world overtones. Carsem is a young Kurdish soldier whose family has been killed in the eternal conflict between Kurds and their neighbors. After the decimation of her village, she drifts into the desert only to emerge years later savagely independent. Eventually, she finds herself starting a new life in a burgeoning island nation teeming with technological resources and colonized by women and outcasts. It isn’t long before greed and violence rear their ugly heads once again.
Simultaneously, on the mainland, another attempt at the unification of South American countries is led by the son of a deposed drug cartel czar. The best intentions lead the young prince into confrontation with the matriarchy of Giresun. Caught in the middle, Carsem is left not knowing who to trust.
