Love between a missionary and a mercenary...

Set in Africa against a background of fierce civil war, The Ants of God is about a love affair as complex, unlikely, and inevitable as any in contemporary fiction. The two memorable lovers are McDermott, an American mercenary pilot aiding the guerilla troops, and Emily, widow of a missionary, a woman of quiet fortitude who has made a small mission station an oasis in the midst of violence. This is the story of their redemption and their love.
