Seeing airborne vultures the rider dug spurs into his camel’s flank. "Run, Lachlar!" he commanded. "Run as toward an enemy!" The rough-hewn face of the rider echoes the shapes of the desert mountain crags; long nose, straight and ridge-like; angular cheeks as if sculpted by the wind; rock chin covered by a black beard sprinkled gray; lean, strong body – testimony to forty-three years on his beloved Sahara. Swathed in a dark blue burnous, what little skin showed through this swirling fabric was the color of a lion’s coat, but, oddly, tinged with blue. Save for glittering black eyes no other feature was visible; his face was veiled. He was a Tuareg. A "blue man" of the desert. Review (an excerpt): The Tuareg is a combination of romance, history and cultural contrasts. The author’s charming style flows with poetic ease, yet speaks with historical authority. The Tuareg saga spans mid-nineteenth century when slave trade was a robust and lucrative business and France and England were fierce competitors in developing African markets. Fleur Caldwell, a young headstrong woman from a Virginia plantation, is cast into the desert world of Mahomed ben Omar Khalifa, a noble but rough-edged Tuareg chieftain. Their budding relationship is interrupted by a romantic competitor, Roger Gregoire, a Frenchman on orders from Paris to spy against the slave trade. Adventures carry the reader from the Barbary Coast to Timbuctoo to the Kasba in Algiers. Twists and turns abound and one never knows what’s coming next. The book will delight a broad spectrum of readers: historians, ethnographists, geographers, political scientists, adventure lovers and hardcore romantics. It has the fascination of The Sheik and the intellectual depth and scope of Lawrence of Arabia. — Reviewer: Dr. Thomas Wolfram, Fellow of the American Physical Society Autobiographical Fiction Tate, Kevin: The Rope That Bound You Children / Juvenile Laven, Sandra and Roberta Michaels: When I’m Grown Up Like They Are, Just You Wait and See!!!
