Mohammed Nasser, a young Eritrean farm boy, is swept up by kidnappers, castrated, and sold as a slave boy to an Arabian oil prince. He is trained in the palace, and rises to "manager" of the prince's harem, a group of beautiful, amorous young women. Nicole, the Prince's favorite concubine, seeking her own freedom, conspires to masculinize the Eunuch, Mohammed, through a series of injections. In a daring maneuver, the fugitive twosome escapes the palace and head to France. The sterile, but sexually potent, Mohammed connives to be cloned, producing a tiny replica of himself. Nicole, furious at the elicit cloning, demands a separation, leaving him to raise his son/clone as single parent. Returning to Eritrea, Mohammed discovers that his family has been wiped out through local warfare, leaving only his brother Abdullah who has risen to military power and influence. Through Abdullah, Mohammed is thrust into the world of geo-politics, power and international finance. He is faced with the double burdens of active diplomacy and raising the world's first known human clone.
