A River of Stars by Vanessa Hua, borrowed from NetGalley, August 14, 2018. What happens or could happen when a pregnant Chinese woman visits the U.S. for "birth tourism" so that her baby can have U.S. citizenship? The novel gives us a fictional scenario when a naive young woman is persuaded by her wealthy lover to stay at a special maternity center in California.
After the Monsoon by Swedish writer, Robert Karjel. This is an excellent thriller set in Djibouti, Africa, about pirates on the open ocean, kidnapped sailers, ransom demands, and the war on terror.
