Mordegai Guruseb escapes from a concentration camp where prisoners are dying from deprivation. But before long his freedom is threatened once again.And then there is failed doctor Albert Pitzer who considers himself a scientist and hopes to gather data that prove his theories. However, Alvaus Luipert, a local schoolmaster, will not stand for his arrogant assumptions and demeaning methods. In the vast, majestic landscape of German South-West Africa, the fates of these five people intertwine and each one's humanity is tested to the limit."--Back cover.
