Dwayne Leary is a salvager, part of a team sent to strip an old oil refinery in one of the most inhospitable places on earth. But there is more than camels and nomads roaming the desert. Besieged by insurgents, Leary and his crew realize their enemy is not on the outside. Something else has infiltrated the oil refinery. Something leaving Leary and the others paranoid. Unsure of who to trust. Something carried by the sandflies.
