In another incarnation he helped Arthur C. Clarke and MGM/UA director Peter Hyams set up a trans-Pacific modem connection for the scriptwriting of the movie 2010. He has long been interested in the technological side of international development.
But how does a pale-skinned white novelist in Alexandria, Virginia, get inside the head of a genius child soldier in the Democratic Republic of the Congo? Through Lemba's tech side, of course. Rothman had help from another technology fan, Junior Boweya in Kinshasa, a translator, software-localization expert, and businessman who fact-checked Gun and otherwise offered an invaluable Congolese perspective. So did the activist Jean Félix Mwema Ngandu, a former Mandela fellow.
Rothman is also the author of six tech-related books and a Washington novel, The Solomon Scandals, which the Washington City Paper praised for "the same dark zeal Hammett held for Frisco or Chandler had for Los Angeles." Reach him at davidrothman@pobox.com.view less
