A fight to save an oasis and find a missing man: Hammond Innes’ classic adventure novel dramatized with a full-cast
When a newspaper article and an almost-forgotten client propels young English lawyer George Grant to delve into the affairs of an elusive oilman he embarks on a mystery trip to the Arabian peninsula. But what begins as an innocent search, leads Grant into a maze of political intrigue and family secrets in the deserts of Arabia. Accompanying Grant is the illegitimate son of the missing man, and from Bahrain to Dubai to the mountains of Jebel Al-Akhbar, the great desert of the Empty Quarter provides a backdrop to the friction, drama and tragedy that develops between Grant and his companion. Can the pair save the oasis from the encroaching sands? Will missing David Whittaker be found alive? And will the men be able to battle the politics and practicalities in a final confrontation with the Emir as new oil is discovered?
The Doomed Oasis is the story of how two ordinary men find themselves in extraordinary circumstances and must use all their ingenuity to not only save an oasis and find a missing man, but also keep themselves alive. This is an absolute archive gem, a full-cast adaptation of a great novel packed with intrigue, suspense, thrills and revelations, starring Tim Munro.

Thank you so much

Always felt Hammond Innes gets overlooked in conversations about thriller writers. He doesn’t write flashy Tom Clancy military type stuff, just good adventure stories.
Tamer than Alistair MacLean, but solid, well researched novels. Many have a man vs. nature (desert, ice flow, stormy ocean) conflict in the plot.
Thanks for sharing, Ants.

Hammond Innes is a fine writer but I suggest the best of them all was Desmond Bagley. Having said that the posthumously published one (Domino Island) was very forgettable.
