description: 'The best tribute I can pay to the quality of Micheal Ross's writing is that he brings this journey back to my mind as vividly as when we were taking place in it; and I believe other readers will catch the spirit of it also and feel that they are passengers in the ill-fated LYM-81 sipping their mint tea as the Ouled Nail dance before them listening to the fertility chants among the palm groves watching European engineers being the sweetest water to the parched land from the vast caverns deep below the surface or standing beside our abandoned car hundreds of miles from anywhere as the sun sank into the desert sand in an unbelievable riot of colours.'
