"The Doomed Oasis" by Hammond Innes, published by Collins, is a compelling adventure novel set in the Middle East. The story follows George Grant, a young British lawyer, who is drawn into a complex and dangerous journey by his enigmatic client, Colonel Charles Whitaker.

Whitaker, a former British Army officer now living in the Arabian desert, requests Grant's help in locating his estranged son, David. David has disappeared into the vast and treacherous desert, driven by a mission to find oil and assert his claim over a disputed oasis. As Grant ventures into the heart of Arabia, he encounters a world of tribal conflicts, political intrigue, and natural hazards.

The novel explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and the clash between tradition and modernity. Innes vividly describes the harsh and majestic desert landscape, capturing the challenges and beauty of the region. As Grant delves deeper into the mystery of David's disappearance and the stakes surrounding the oasis, he uncovers secrets that test his courage and resolve.

"The Doomed Oasis" is a richly detailed and thrilling narrative, blending elements of adventure, mystery, and drama against the backdrop of the Arabian desert. Innes's skillful storytelling and evocative descriptions make this novel a memorable and immersive read.
