The Sands is a story of a unsure man in perplexing surroundings. We follow Little Hawk Troy as he journeys to the desert with his entomologist wife, Margie. Hawk's story unfolds as he meets Fen the Riverboat Vegetable Seller, Butsi The Boy King, and the mysterious musician and his son in the town cafe.
Will Hawk's and Butsi's party thrive, or will the vengeful army intercept and destroy them?
				These questions and others are dealt with, but not necessarily answered as Hawk's story continues and his confusion and frustration compound, both building towards a blurry climax echoing Hawk's psyche that has left some readers puzzled, and others wholly delighted. Black Candy artist Matt Madden said about The Sands: "This is a really daring - and for me, successful- bit of narrative experimentation that makes me wish there was more stuff like this coming out."
