The Man from Nowhere

     He does not know where he is or who he is. He must keep the sun on his back/ Keep moving, or die. (p.16)

     I read this book "The Man from Nowhere." This story is about an accident in a desert.
     One day, a rich family fly with their private jet and they are going to enjoy their vacation. However when they are crossing the desert, one or some birds crash into the jet and the engine breaks down and they fall down the desert.
     The mother is injured her leg, so she can't move. The father is hit his body and cut his head. Their child is OK. Fortunately, none of the family dies.
     However they don't have enough food and water in the severe situation. The father is too weak to move, but he has to go and look for help for his lovely family. So he starts to walk with very injured body and unclear mind. Moreover walking in the soft sands of the desert makes him more tired, so he gets weaker and weaker. Finally he falls down the desert, and when the people find him, he loses his all memory. So the people can not know about him anything and he is "The Man from Nowhere."
     By the way, can his family be found and rescued? If you are interested in the end of this story, I want you to read it!
