The Stream lost in the sand (The Trials of Benjamin Bone) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

It is 1994 and Benjamin Bone is depressed. Out of work, his marriage over, he needs to get back on track.

He is interviewed for a job with an American oil company soon to drill a multi-million dollar well in a remote wadi cut into the Yemeni plateau. And he knows he’s the perfect candidate.

Until he knows too much.

Framed for murder and on the run his one hope for salvation is in Yemen, a divided country on the verge of civil war. Only Singaporean travel agent Natalya Cheung can get him there but, when he lies to her, she wants nothing more to do with him.

Isolated, confused and embroiled in a web of corporate crime and ruthless politicians hungry for power, Benjamin is in a fight for his life.

Can he find out what is really going on out in the desert?

Before they find him.
