Bashed to earth by a monster storm, can Martin Dexter survive the Great Sandy Desert? Martin Dexter, an engineer with AMINCO in northern Western Australia, is needed at a work site but has misgivings about travelling in a Cessna when the firm's Lear Jet is unavailable. These feelings are magnified when he realises there is a storm front even though the pilot Joe assures him they will beat it. Unbeknown to the two men, a cyclone has blown up from the Timor Sea and has merged with the storm front from the Indian Ocean making the weather into a nightmare. The consequences are devastating for the men and their families. Charles Beagley takes the reader on a tense journey as the men find themselves embroiled in a disaster. Martin is left to manage on his own, with little food or water, in the vast Sandy Desert. His experiences with a young Aboriginal man, Willy, culminate in Martin being treated for his injuries at a remote cattle station. Martin's wife, Kate, discovers with shock that Martin's injuries are not only physical, and the story of Martin's recovery from his mental trauma emerges. The future of Martin's 'blood brother' Willy is eventually determined in a way that neither Martin nor Kate could previously have imagined.

Seller's Description:
New. A ripper of an outback tale for young adult and older readers. Set in Broome, Western Australia, engineer Martin Dexter boards a plane bound for the Sandy Desert only to be derailed by a 200 kilometer per hour cyclone that is on their tail. Starving and alone in the middle of the outback, Dexter's encounter with an Aboriginal man named Willy saves his life and sets the lives of both men on an intertwining path. Their destinies are now in each others' hands. Charles Beagley crafts a masterful tale, taking the reader on a courageous and emotional journey through the Sandy Desert and into the lives of two very different strangers.
