'It was because I was afraid that I had decided to attempt a
crossing of the great Sahara desert, from west to east, by myself
and by camel. No one had ever made such a journey before . . .' In
October 1972 Geoffrey Moorhouse began his odyssey across the Sahara
from the Atlantic to the Nile, a distance of 3,600 miles. His
reason for undertaking such an immense feat was to examine the
roots of his fear, to explore an extremity of human experience.
From the outset misfortune was never far away; and as he moved
further into that 'awful emptiness' the physical and mental
deprivation grew more intense. In March 1973, having walked the
last 300 miles, Moorhouse, ill and exhausted, reached Tamanrasset,
where he decided to end his journey. The Fearful Void is the moving
record of his struggle with fear and loneliness and, ultimately,
his coming to terms with the spiritual as well as the physical
dangers of the desert.
