Renegade, or Halo2
Rey Castro belongs to a small but highly distinctive tribe: he is a black Amerasian. Born in destitution in the Philippines to a bar girl mother, he is fortunate enough to be taken under the wing of an eccentric Jesuit. However, fate takes a hand when he is made the scapegoat for a crime he did not commit and is forced into semi-slavery overseas. Adventure piles on adventure in old-fashioned style but Timothy Mo's sixth novel is both traditional and devastatingly contemporary.
