OUTLINE:

On the Persian Gulf island of Belaj, Egyptian belly-dancers and British flight attendants (girls and gays) are working overtime to relieve sex-starved Arabs of their frustrations - and their petrodollars.

One of the punters is murdered: whisky-soaked publisher Farouk whose nymphomaniac wife Nayla is a niece of the local despot, His Highness Shaikh Khaled bin Khalifa al-Khazi. But it’s inter-racial sex that fuels the ‘earthquake’ which will shake Belaj City (and all Arabia) to its foundations.

Newcomer Cass, an East London housewife, becomes a $500 hooker. Pneumatic American stewardess Sammy-Jo and bisexual British banker Eddy are drawn into a plot by BARF (the Belaj Armed Revolutionary Front) to assassinate the Amir in a steamy bedroom romp.

But what happens after the coup, as the Arab World gets its first female President? Is it the Dawn of Democracy? A new Age of Enlightenment? Or (God help us all) thermonuclear Armageddon?
