Описание: In 1914, as the Great War looms, a disparate cast of characters is thrown together in the desert of Mesopotamia. English, Ottoman and German interest groups - soldiers, spies, engineers - find their priorities clashing as they use the land for their own self-interest in the pursuit of mineral wealth, trade routes, and the fading power of the Ottoman empire. Germans are securing trade routes with a new railway, the Bedouin want to retain their way of life, a major in the Royal Engineers goes undercover, secretly mapping for the British the areas rich in oil. The only idealist is English archaeologist Somerville, whose presence is the fulfilment of a dream.

Описание: As the child of an absent mother and a disapproving father, Charles Cleasby found comfort in solitary games of chess. Many years later, in the house where he grew up and now lives alone, he re-enacts the naval battles of his hero Horatio Nelson, moving model ships as carefully as he once did chess pieces.
