Storm Over Khartoum

1884—Deep in the deserts of the Sudan a crazed fanatic spawns violent bloodshed. As members of the British force engaged in a doomed bid to save heroic Gordon of Khartoum, besieged by the frenzied armies of the Mahdi, Edgar and Rupert Clinton, twin brothers divided by a woman’s greed, unravel the past crime that threatens their futures. A thoroughly modern retelling of the momentous events on the Nile from the perspective of two young men caught up in the whirlwind of Dervish fanaticism, Storm Over Khartoum captures their excitement, terror, hope and the despair of loss. Separated by events, Edgar and Rupert are thrown into their own desperate adventures as the conflict rages on around them—and both find Muslim allies willing to risk all to see them through. In a hostile world of searing sun, unforgiving sand, and rocky wastes, the two young men discover the wider meaning of what truly is a family.
