The trail to the fate of three missing contractors leads Chris and Djibi into dangerous territory, but when their job is done, a simple exit for them is not in the cards. Rounded up with a group of villagers by a brutal and cruel militia leader, Chris and his fellow captives are forced to dig underground caves in ancient salt deposits. Desperate to escape before they are worked to death, they see no way out. Have the Decaturs taken on more hazards than they can handle as they search for a lost needle in the haystack of the massive expanses of the harshly beautiful yet rebel-infested West African Sahel? A fresh and fast-paced classic-style modern adventure fiction novel with a great cast of continuing characters, written to be enjoyed by all ages, Iron Mixed with Sand Salt without Memory, is Book Four in The Decaturs series – the sequel to the novels, In Time of Peril, A Difficult Damsel to Rescue, Between Dunes and Hard Places.
T.K. Naliaka brings years of real-world living on three continents to create fresh, fast-paced fiction adventure writing for all ages.
"If one could speak two languages well and was raised on tea and baguettes for breakfast, in places where the most mundane daily business on the street is conducted in four languages, where horse carts park at cyber cafes, where would one go? Where could one go? Why, with a smile and a handshake, very far, indeed!"
"Naliaka's emotive, yet short and snappy anecdote of trade in an African setting illustrates the scope and complexity of doing business in the African continent." Africa Rising: Doing Business in Africa, authors from Regents Business School, South Africa, June 2014
