Sobre IBD

’Kamyonistan is not just a place...It’s a magical oasis we’ve constructed in our minds.’In the desert near Damascus, Kamyonistan is a truck stop where trade routes, cultures and travellers connect and collide. From this outpost arises a nascent community, which faces threats from fundamentalism, Israeli missiles, gunrunning and even an earthquake. And yet, for its inhabitants, Kamyonistan becomes an earthly paradise - a place that needs to be protected, where identities can be carved and, most importantly, a place to call home.This quartet edition contains all four novels of Robert Hackford’s finely drawn Kamyonistan series: Kamyonistan, Kamyonistan Revisited, Kamyonistan Revealed and Kamyonistan Reflected.
