But when he loses everything in Aden, his only chance of survival lies in finding his father who disappeared years before. His search will be dangerous and lonely, and he faces a world preparing for war. Jama's epic journey, by foot, camel, lorry and train, will take him through war-torn Eritrea and Sudan, to Egypt, Palestine and finally, to the icy realms of Britain he heard about in Aden."
