"This book was gripping in every way. I had every emotion known to man as I read it -- happy, scared, angry, sad, and general disbelief that something like this can happen to a fellow human being and a young one at that."

Amazon - Bookworm Kala

"...I was moved by the ingenuity, courage and devotion of Edgar's friends. That raised the story above the thriller category..."

Very few books have evoked such emotion. 'Nightmare Along the River Nile' brought me to tears. The compassion that Edgar and his friends have for each other is extraordinary. The author has done a magnificent job in bringing attention to a very serious issue and human tragedy; modern day slavery
