The Third Force is the dramatic conclusion of The Gisawi Chronicles. In the final chapter, the Democratic Republic of Gisawi (DroG) holds historic elections after a popular uprising ousts the county's former dictator. However, someone claiming to be the infamous warlord Daniel Odoki has returned to lead a rebel army that threatens to disrupt the fragile democracy and seize the strategic military outpost of Kiskow. After a mysterious bombing kills a leading presidential candidate, the county's corrupt former intelligence chief, Emanuel Sekibo, emerges as the new front-runner. However, Sekibo's prospects dim when Louie Bigombe emerges as a surprise candidate, though it's unclear who's behind his bid and why. As he tries to unravel the mystery, Louie is helped by his old childhood friend Patrick, an officer working inside the feared and secretive Police Intelligence. While trying to help Louie get to the bottom of the election shenanigans, Patrick stumbles upon something much darker, a secret that raises the stakes for everyone involved. Meanwhile, Louie's wife, Anna, an American academic working at the National University, is drawn into the drama when she disappears from campus without a trace. In trying to locate Anna, Louie is drawn across the border into the stronghold of the Gisawian Liberation Army. There, he learns the secret behind the rebel force and the true aim of the insurgency. As it grows clear to Louie that he's become a pawn in someone else's game, he must race to discover the truth before it turns deadly for those he most wants to protect. In the end, Louie confronts a painful secret from his past and learns the truth about a family saga that is inseparable from his nation's history.
