Balkanized at Sunrise    by Joe Tripician
Price: $2.99 USD. 30600 words. Published on June 30, 2010. Nonfiction.
After the bloody Balkan wars of the '90s, the Croatian government hired a penniless science-fiction author to write the official biography of its President.

"Balkanized at Sunrise": a true and fascinating memoir.
