Blooded in Dakar: A Cameron Ingham Story

Gap year student Cameron Ingham has plunged himself into deep trouble in Dakar, Senegal. With just four hours to explore the famous African city before the Grand Atlas cruiseship leaves port again, the bored English teenager seeks excitement in one of the city's traditional wrestling schools. Overmatched against a huge fighting champion, Cam falls foul of the club's patrons. Bruised and battered from the experience, but with his fighting instinct awakened, Cam finds himself pursued by wrestlers, gangsters and a beautiful femme fatale in a headlong rush back to the ship. Along the way he will discover friendship, purpose and a lust for adventure.

Blooded in Dakar is the first novelette in the Cameron Ingham series, a violent modern-day pulp adventure saga set in West Africa and written in the spirit of Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Oliver Godwin delivers visceral fighting scenes and a plot that races towards a breathless conclusion as its central character begins to discover who he really is.

This story is around 15,000 words long.
