Ahmed Otared is a Cairene police officer and trained sniper. When the country is invaded and occupied by a force of foreign mercenaries he joins the underground resistance, embarking a new bloodthirsty career.As the violence he encounters and participates in intensifies, a terrifying reality, bubbling below surface of `normal’ life, is revealed to him, and he finds himself a fantasia of torture and torment, a hellscape from which there is no deliverance.This unflinching and grisly tale is made vivid through Mohammed Rabie’s brutally beautiful writing.
Born in 1978, Mohammad Rabie is the author of three acclaimed novels. His first novel, Amber's Planet, won first prize in the Emerging Writers category of the Sawiris Cultural Award in 2012. He lives in Cairo, Egypt. Robin Moger studied Egyptology and Arabic at Oxford University before working as a journalist in Cairo for six years. He is the translator of A Dog with No Tail by Hamdi Abu Golayyel (AUC Press, 2009) and Women of Karantina by Nael Eltoukhy (AUC Press, 2014), and his translation for Writing Revolution (2013) won the 2013 English PEN Award for outstanding writing in translation.
