'It reads as if Don Delillo had been sent to Darfur,' John Freeman, Granta.

Full of amazing real life characters as well as Tom's insightful commentary, full of irony and intelligent reflection, Deep Field is an intensely human story, not only of current affairs and people in crisis, but of Tom himself and how someone's life can change so completely when they find themself in the wrong place at the wrong time ... or is that the right time?

Deep Field is an inspiring adventure story...
