Opis

Kennedy Hunter, an American journalist, travels to Casablanca to interview The Torch, an Islamic rebel hiding deep inside the Sahara. He's cunning, sleek as an eel and doesn't make it easy on her. To meet him, she is pushed out of a small plane into the desert night where she spends the most frightening night of her life. A band of hostile Berbers pick her up and with them she treks the Sahara to his hidden location. From them she learns about ancient tribal customs. It is a world that is alien to her, a world of mysticism she knows nothing about. On her return, alone in the desert, she is confronted by Touaregs, the Blue Men of the Sahara, who are as fierce and scary as the deadly sandstorms she has to withstand. The Torch demands that she publish a manifesto and isn't happy with her reporting. What ensues is a tit-for-tat, a game of cat and mouse that doesn't end until she unravels the mystery that is The Torch and exposes him to the world.
