This dynamic tale whispers through the desert winds, making a statement about man's spirit for survival. The once green community of the nomadic Kikatu people has been hit hard by drought and has turned into a lifeless desert. A man on the lowest rung of the social ladder and a slave for all intents and purposes, rises to the occasion. Leading an ecological movement, he makes a frontal attack on the logging industry, gaining powerful enemies who are intent on keeping the old order in place. But then Nature Takes a Stand, and the cruel drought that has killed the grasses has almost decimated the herds. The Kikatu can either stay put and starve, or move in search of water and fodder, but perhaps still die for trying. The beautifully told novel shows the worst of mankind and the best.
