It's all about oil. If there was no oil the only expatriates in the Mid-East would be a few biblical scholars and archaeologists being driven mad by the heat, dust, flies and wily bureaucrats looking for baksheesh. Since the 1960s Oil has been the new Great Game. A game made serious by the endless flow of petro-dollars---and blood.
This collection of linked short stories spans more than 40 years and is journalistic featuring strong but flawed characters,, the archetypes who wash up The Gulf, trying to survive and prosper in a corrupt and frightening atavistic world. Ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. A world as it is, not as The West wish it to be.
