Guns and Almond Milk
PAGE TURNER AWARD FINALIST
Meet Luke Archer, a British Egyptian doctor who struggles to be from two worlds at the same time. He's working in one of the world's most dangerous hospitals in Yemen. When rebel forces take over the city, a group of Western mercenaries take refuge inside the hospital and Luke and his team find themselves in the middle of a deadly clash. To make matters worse, leading the mercenaries is an unwelcome figure from Luke's past. After years saving the lives of others, Luke needs to face the demons of his past in order to save his own.
Set in the UK and Yemen, Guns and Almond Milk is a literary thriller that deals with identity, diversity and old coins of arguable value. It's The Sympathizer mixed with M.A.S.H by the way of Ramy.

PRAISE FOR GUNS AND ALMOND MILK
ABOUT
I am an Egyptian writer, aid worker and trainer. I studied Pharmacy, Public Health, Nanotechnology and Management.
I have over a decade of humanitarian experience in more than a dozen conflict zones around the world—including most Arab Spring countries at the heights, and lows, of their uprisings.
I have a strong penchant for neo-noir, dark humour and books that strike the magical balance between the literary and the commercial.
