This novella is now available on Amazon in both ebook and paperback format.

David Hayden, a young American journalist, sets out on a journey to the Sahara Desert. In his hands are letters describing a humanitarian crisis, and his mission is to draw attention to the ongoing tragedy. The people of Tal Qatm, a small mining town, have been living under the tyranny of an American energy giant. Their days are spent in the darkness of mines, and their nights in the squalor of poverty. Only an honest voice can make the world hear their pleas.

David knows that the Egyptian deserts are a harsh, unwelcoming environment, and he expects a long political fight against the company involved. But once he arrives, he finds a macabre reality that forces him to reexamine not only his personal stance but also his deepest beliefs.
