Book Description

The Midnight Robber is a Science Fiction/Fantasy novel set in a Trinidad and Tobago 500 years in the future. A Trinidad and Tobago that has not only succumbed to global warming and tectonic instabilities but also to gang warfare and civil unrest. The most prevalent gang in the country is called “The Masqueraders,” and it is run by the notorious Midnight Robber. The book follows the story of a young Trinidadian boy who, after witnessing his father’s death by the Midnight Robber, ventures to the office of the Prime Minister in the sunken city of Port of Spain with some friends who he met along the way. He does so in order to try to urge the Prime Minister to come up with a resolution for all the violence, but in the Twin Republic, plans never go smoothly.
