Fresh from adventures in Nigeria, Malcolm and V ronique return to live in Europe but the slow pace of life sees them hanker for a return to Africa. This eventually occurs but not before moving from France to England.
Four years after departing Nigeria, while a teacher at a private school in the Midlands, Malcolm is offered a mission to the proud nation of Chad where he stays in the town of N'gouri in the Sahara Desert. Aside the suffocating heat, he encounters crab-sized scorpions and snakes in the wells, and witnesses the defeat of the Libyan army. A hilarious meeting in the desert is the catalyst for a move to Senegal with the engaging family starting a new life in the Land of Teranga.
