Book Description

Morocco, 1943: 14 year old Billy Sterling regains consciousness to find himself alone in the desert. Beside him is the wreckage of a light aircraft and the corpse of the pilot. Terrified, Billy soon realises that he is utterly stranded, alone, in a vast and hostile wilderness. He does not see the human eyes, watching him from a distance. London, 1950: George Bridger Sterling is still experiencing profound anguish over the disappearance of his son, who hasn't been seen for seven years. His terrible feeling of guilt allows him to persist in the belief that Billy is still alive. Then George is contacted by a mysterious stranger, who claims to be the co-pilot of the crashed plane, and has information that could lead to Billy – for a price. Travelling to a vast, dangerous desert, accompanied only by a man he barely knows, let alone trusts, Sterling must retrace the vague footsteps left nearly a decade before. But why was the plane anywhere near the Western Sahara? And why are they not the only people interested in what was on board? The action is fast and furious, from the plane crash to tribal traditions, and the desert scenes are powerful and lyrical. Visually brilliant, with a wonderful range of characters from tribal warriors to double-agents, it will appeal to fans of Wilbur Smith and Andy McNab.


About the Author

Michael Asher has served in the Parachute Regiment and the SAS, and studied English at the University of Leeds. He has made expeditions in many countries, always preferring to travel on foot or with animal transport. He lived for three years with a Bedu tribe totally unaffected by the outside world and, with his wife, made the first west-east crossing of the Sahara on foot and with camels – a distance of 4,500 miles – without technology or back-up of any kind. He has travelled a total of 16,000 miles by camel.

His first two novels, Eye of Ra and Firebird, were set in Egypt. The second two, Rare Earth and Sandstorm, are set largely among the deserts and tribes of north Africa, and are atmospheric, high-octane thrillers. Perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith and Andy McNab.

‘The best novel of African adventure since King Solomon’s Mines.’ Jack Higgins on Sandstorm

Michael Asher currently lives in Nairobi, Kenya, with his wife and their two children.
