THE TRIALS OF CHEPONDOR by Franz Owano
In the arid hinterland of Olmoran town Chepondor; an illiterate Pokot woman trudges
through life as a second wife enduring loss, struggle and societal injustice meted on women
in her patriarchal nomadic community.
Cherot, her younger daughter is a vibrant, ambitious, intelligent girl. A visionary determined
to forge her own path and not relive her mother's past.
Kakut is Chepondor's husband and Cherot's father. An archetypal Pokot man. Set in his ways.
Reverent to tradition and culture. Resistant to change. Hell-bent on ensuring his wives and
daughter bend to the will of the tribe.
Will Kakut embrace his daughter's great expectations or lay them to rest as delusions deigned
to threaten the nomadic way of life? What is to become of Chepondor, trapped between two
comets on an inevitable collision course with destiny?
BOY CHILD by Franz Owano
This novel paints a vivid portrait of three men on the famished road that is self discovery.
Boi, a light hearted libertine finds himself fleeing from the memory of a man he barely knew. Battling apparitions of the past with seeming futility.
Ajenda, an ambitiously ruthless man possessed by a yearning to escape his poverty stricken past; makes concessions. Hankering for worldly wealth he runs the risk of damning his soul.Pitching him headlong into a hedonistic pursuit of the idyllic Kenyan dream.
Fred, enraptured by freedom and disdainful of romantic love questions the validity of society's philosophy of life. Demonstrating a mercantile spirit and indomitable will in the face of conformity's influence.
The trio's paths intertwine in an unlikely odyssey. One in which a central thought persists." Isn't the son nothing more than an extension of the father?"
VISIONS OF CHRYSALIS by Franz Owano
Set in the 22 nd century, mankind’s dependence on technology ushers in a bold new era of evolution. The
proliferation of Artificial Intelligence in due time, pits man against machine. Phasing out the middle class
and thus widening the gap between the affluent and destitute. Sparking the spectre of insurrection,
wars & the volcanic upheaval of revolt.
In a bid to resolve the ensuing mayhem, Artificial Intelligence offers a solution to the quandary. By the
adoption of Chrysalis; Kenyan society attempts a social experiment that will finally not only provide
equality but equity to all its citizens. Some however remain nostalgic for a past in which the status quo
reigned supreme.
From the spectacle of conflict to the intrigues of the Senate, from the struggles to exert influence in the
corridors of power to the betrayals that threaten to tear apart the alliances of convenience forged.
Visions of Chrysalis is an intimate portrayal of the quest to change the course of a nation’s history, and
the three men whose destinies inevitably clash in a ruthless duel of ambition.
