Richard House’s epic novel of crime and conspiracy is a hugely ambitious cross-continental saga told in four volumes.

Camp Liberty is an unmanned staging post in Amrah province, Iraq; a place where the detritus of war is buried, incinerated, and removed from memory. Suddenly, plans are announced to transform it into the largest military base in the country, codenamed the Massive. But before this happens, Camp Liberty is hit by an explosive attack. After the dust settles and the survivors are counted it emerges that just one man is missing. Along with $50 million of reconstruction funds...

"Richard House has written a gripping, hallucinogenic -- and enormous -- novel that deals with the aftermath of the Iraq conflict. (...) House has a great ability to create vivid characters, and the novel teems with them. But the writing in this third book is too abundant -- there is simply too much story."  -  Kate Pullinger, The Guardian
