Across the Amber Dust: A Gentleman's Chronicle of the Eastwind Deserts

By David Berg

What happens when a gentleman explorer loses the map, the mission, and his monocle - but keeps walking anyway?

If you've ever dreamed of escaping the grind of modern life for something stranger, dustier, and far more absurd... this book is your invitation.

Across the Amber Dust is a fictional travel chronicle through the Eastwind Deserts - a surreal, satirical, and soul-shifting journey told through the unreliable (but highly entertaining) journal of Sir Archibald Thistlewaite Mandrake, Esq.

Written by David Berg, this genre-blending novel combines dry wit, adventure, and philosophical insight in a style reminiscent of Jules Verne meets Douglas Adams - with a dash of Victorian pomp and a generous serving of sand.

In these pages, you'll travel through lands where hats are used in courtship rituals, etiquette is weaponized, and even camels hold grudges. But beneath the absurdity lies a deeper question:

What do you find at the edge of the known world, when the empire that sent you no longer remembers why?

Inside, you'll discover:

A world where maps shift, silence speaks louder than treaties, and ruins ask more questions than they answerA satirical exploration of colonial arrogance, self-invention, and the quiet collapse of certaintyA literary escape that's equal parts travelogue, fantasy, and existential comedy

Whether you're craving an offbeat desert journey, clever prose, or a break from reality with something truly original, Across the Amber Dust delivers.

Don't wait. Scroll up and grab your copy today - and begin your journey beyond the edge of reason.
