Inhaltsangabe

Click this link to read a review of The Khamsin. In the middle of the stormy Atlantic she bounced awake, terrified that she was doomed for disaster when she found herself on a disabled troopship in 1944 heading for the festering sands of Egypt. She swallowed, deciding it was a bad omen of what was to come. This is an unglorified version of a certain few from vastly different backgrounds and how their traumatic crises led to their deadly futile struggles at the rear echelon based on the lips of the ever vigilant Sahara. In her case she couldn't get far enough from the neighborhood warlords. This is about women who became friends under pressure, spending many long months desperately unhappy over their assignments and sorting out their personal problems while agonizing over loved ones fighting the war at the front. The detestable office situation didn't keep her from becoming famous throughout Cairo for her dancing-her self-induced therapy for emotional bruises collected daily on a menial job that she hated. To her rescue came an unbelievably handsome blond Bob Donovan from Aramco in Saudi Arabia who stole the show from her at a company celebration marking one year in Cairo where she got star billing in the Stars and Stripes. However, the publicity unfortunately caught the attention of her hometown warlord's brother who was stationed nearby in the Air Force.... and the toast of Cairo was soon to meet her Waterloo.
