They are joined next to their fire by a lone Toureg nomad, who appears from the darkness to share their food, and then vanishes back into the night.

Starting in Mexico he travels east through the glorious Caribbean, to a stunning desert oasis in North Africa, across India and Asia, and on a dangerous, covert incursion into the remote hills of western Burma.
