Description: When he is asked to become involved in a project to create a salmon river in the highlands of the Yemen, Fred rejects the idea as absurd. But the proposal catches the eye of several senior British politicians, who feel it might distract the media's attention from the less welcome stories coming out of the Middle East. It's not long before the wheels of government start spinning, and the publicity-savvy PM is talking about the project on television. Fred finds himself forced to set aside his research and instead figure out how to fly ten thousand salmon to a desert country ... and persuade them to swim there. As he embarks on an extraordinary journey of faith, the diffident Dr Jones will discover a sense of belief and a capacity for love, that surprises himself and all who know him.
