THE BLUE CHAMELEON

A story of famine in the deep Sahara, the ozone hole over Antarctica, the dangerous legacy of a dead biologist - and Beni Ish-Mahel, the survivor of an ancient desert clan.

Caught between an unfinished and an empty future, he works for his uncle in a Melbourne dockyard. When an Egyptian ship arrives, there seems hope of escape - of going back, and finding out what happened...

But greater forces are at work, and Beni's quest to find his lost twin brother leads him on an extraordinary journey, to the end of the earth.
