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.
