Death of the Oracle is the story of Rio Dos Cameros. Tambi, the promiscuous son of the mayor of Namatemba, and Florantin Suzie Jean Pierre exemplify promiscuity among the young population of the society in Rio. In Death of the Oracle, the social ills among the downtrodden and unemployed sectors of the society, coupled with the one-man dictatorship of President Onana, have forced the people to demand change. Unfortunately, the hopes of the masses are frustrated through politically motivated government-sponsored manipulations and assassinations of opposition political leaders, the only hope of the people. Anita believes her people are foolish enough to think their hope lies simply in dreams, an Orison by pagans, doomed to eternal hell.
