Wie Wasser im Sand

Translated from the back of the book:

Mherwed: The city on the shore of the Mhanadi, seat of the caliph, squirming centre of the culture of the Novadi. HYou#ve ended up here, and now you look for a job.
You hear that soon in Unau one of the legendary camel races will be held - this is enogh reason to take on teh dangerous journey through the pitiless Khôm desert. But this desert isnt called pitiless for nothing. And thus you have to deal with sand storms, wild raiders and tribeal chiefs without remorse - if you have not died out of thirst under the glowing sun before.
