Kasfareet, Africa: the Arab nation of El Hari is close to erupting into civil war, and the only person who could restore peace is The Bey of El Hari, a young man living in exile and leading a life of luxury in Rome. When Nemesis is given the task of bringing the Bey back to his homeland, Richard and Sharron abduct him and begin the journey to El Hari. But even though the Bey comes around to accept his responsibility it may be too late, as dissident factions are profiting from the turmoil and El Hari's cobalt deposits, and are planning to assassinate the Bey...
