In this story of the years leading up to theraid and its aftermath, Flo Quick tells her version of the events and puts forward a convincing tale. A lawman of the time described Flo Quick as "one hell-fire of a she-cat." Indeed she was, and she had a raunchy sense of humor to boot.

The adventures of Tinker Taylor started in rural Scotland before he was three years old. They continued throughout his formative years in England until he set off on a round-about odyssey for Timbuktu in his late teens. On his long journey he introduces us to Alexander the Great, Marc Antony, a host of ancient Persian kings, a trio of Sahara explorers, and he dallies with exotic beauties such as Aphrodite, Cleopatra and Queen Tin Hinan. Tinker's travels through the ruins of antiquity bring him in contact with an eclectic mix of modern personalities, including: a talkative Turk, Pete - an Iraqi with a Cockney accent, Brandy - the passionate American, two Italian mountain climbers, and a suspected British spy. Plus, we meet an African crook named Agha Khan, the overpowering Chantal, a nomad called Mahmoud, and Fred - a bad-tempered camel.All these set against a backdrop of archaeological treasures: Pella, Ephesus, Persepolis, Palmyra, Ba'albek, the Pyramids of Gizeh, Abalessa, Timgad and the fabled Timbuktu.
