To fully appreciate Recy Dunn's most recent poignant novel, Circle of Time, readers should first refer to some important events in South Africa's history. The first of which is the the British seizure of the Cape of Good Hope in 1806 forcing many of the Boers to form their own republics. The second pertains to the Boers defeating more than 10,000 Zulu warriors in 1838. They believed that white predominance over Blacks was God's own will. Next is the discovery of diamonds and gold that created great wealth but at the same time led to intensified subjugation of the native inhabitants. Then there was the Anglo-Zulu War fought in 1879 between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom. This latter event was quite important in the time-line of imperialism in the region and eventually resulted in a British victory and ended the Zulu nation's independence. Finally, in the twentieth century we have racial segregation or Apartheid that was enforced through legislation by the National Party governments that ruled from 1948 to 1994. The rights of the majority black inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and white supremacy was maintained creating an inhospitable place for the blacks to live.

Within the context of this historical background, Dunn builds his fictional story of police lieutenant Jan Linden of Johannesburg, South Africa whose father is killed in a bomb blast. Linden strongly believes that there is a conspiracy as well as a link between African tribes and Apartheid. As each day passes, he is convinced that a terrorist group from the African National Congress (ANC) is the culprit. Linden vows that whatever it takes he will find his father's killers. What is more, and according to Linden, money, if properly used and placed into the hands of the right people is the key to any terrorist campaign that can result in a successful revolt.
