Rare Earth -Michael Asher

Two worlds collide in the unforgiving desert.

The discovery of a rare mineral deposit attracts rival mining corporations to a remote corner of North Africa.

But between them and the billion dollar find lies thousands of miles of harsh, barren desert - and the peaceful tribe who inhabit it, unchanged for centuries and untouched by Western society.

Archaeologist Dan Truman must bribe the tribe to part with their rare earth, plunging himself into a shadow world of kidnapping, extortion and brutal corruption.

Truman soon realises he can trust nobody and gets caught up in a cycle of betrayal and slaughter.

When the clash of civilisations comes, can David beat Goliath for a second time?

And will Truman be able to save the community in which he has finally found a home?

'Rare Earth' is a thrilling adventure story from a master story-teller.
