Description - Defying Death in the Desert by Gary Jeffrey

This title looks at extreme tales of survival in this vast and arid environment. Learn how Captain James Riley and the crew of the Commerce fought for survival in the Sahara in 1815 and how a marathon turned to disaster for one runner who became lost in a sandstorm in Morocco. Graphic Survival Stories is an exciting new series about real life survival stories, in a graphic-novel format. Dramatic, full colour graphic illustrations are supported by short, accessible blocks of text and speech bubbles. Each title features three gripping tales of survival and includes an introduction to the habitat, maps, survival tips and a glossary to support the stories. Short summaries of more stories will prompt further research and discussion.
