Ever wonder what might be the life of a non-influencer in Dubai/Abu Dhabi/UAE... the Empty Quarter?
Since Morocco (and his landscape confusion demonstrated in his short story collection, CuriousTales) disasters have vexed CJ's personal life and professional landscape architecture career. And indeed another disaster has brought him to Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.
But now something, stranger than West Africa, stranger than the marabouts, stranger than the Sahara, stands in his way-the Rub al Khali, the Empty Quarter.
Don't want to think about it?
...when landscape is more powerful than shelter...
...more powerful than humans...
...but it's just sand, right?
Dubai Sands is a thrilling tale of loss, redemption, and the dangerously fast, big business of the top end international hospitality world. Set in the throbbing urban realm of Dubai, CJ has lost everything:-his wife, his finances, his job, and his professional reputation. In the depths of his despair, he receives a call from an unexpected source, offering him a chance at redemption. And thus the real story begins in the arid, infamous, death-dealing heart of the world's largest contiguous sand desert, the Rub al Khali, the Empty Quarter.
