Publisher's Note
It is a place where humans may scratch an existence - until the rains fail. Then the people must go to the towns, and an age-old, elemental way of life confronts a newer society, one that strives to be part of the modern world but is itself built on shifting sand. Tanner is a stranger in this, his father's land, Sudan. He travelled here from his mother's arid England in search of some kind of fulfilment, but now he is stranded in the stagnant pool of Khartoum, a silent witness to the suffering around him. The current of his life quickens with the arrival of a mysterious American, who may be technocrat or terrorist. With him Tanner travels south, into the heart of the desert, where there is no more room for compromise...

The first novel follows the journey of a young man from a mixed family who travels from Britain to the Sudan to claim his heritage from his father. As famine inexorably moves into the western part of the country, Tanner finds himself the embodiment of the same malaise gripping Africa. A modern novel about modern Africa.
