Box of Oxen (English Edition)

Novella; near-future science-fiction/thriller

Unless the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority agree to enter into a binding peace agreement, an unhinged Russian physicist has threatened to set off a nuclear device somewhere in Jerusalem. The Israelis think it's a Palestinian trick, the Palestinians think it's a ploy of the Israelis, and both sides are running out of time.

Meanwhile two children, an Israeli girl and a Palestinian boy, just hope to be left to themselves to find their own way in life.
