Good Fortune Calls

Hans Wette Heinrich's world turns upside down following the promulgation of the Nuremberg Laws in Nazi Germany, forcing him to seek sanctuary in Africa and embrace a father he barely knows.

His new African family and childhood friend help him settle down into his new life, and he finally thinks his new home is truly the haven he needs. However, he quickly finds out that his role as the first son of an African legend comes at a price, and that he needs to tame his impulses and come to terms with the reality of his new world beyond his family. Even as he fosters a noble dream that is haunted by nightmares, and even as he tries to live with the ghosts lurking around a legacy that is too big to inherit, he never imagines his haven could one day become his new hell.



"Good Fortune Calls" is the first book in a trilogy entitled "Disciples of Fortune". It is the forerunner to "Master of Good Fortune", the second book telling the story of Josef Nana Njike---a whiz-kid adopted by a German colonial soldier, who falls from innocence and gives birth to a legacy that inspires a continent.
