From Library Journal This is a journey with camels from Timbuktu in Mali westward around the edge of a sand dune area and into Mauritania. The book begins with three preliminary trips to the region in which the author presents himself as a low-budget adventurer with a capacity for discomfort and a desire to be (perhaps) the first person to make such a trip. Though there has been some great desert-travel writing, Edwards, a rather coarse writer and not a serious student of arid lands and peoples, is not in that league. While he gives a gripping and sometimes entertaining account, it is heavily cliched and thoroughly predictable. Harold M. Otness, Southern Oregon State Coll.
