Veronica and Matilda have travelled from Peterborough University to Tanzania with their guide Hank to Ngoro Ngoro, the great meteorite crater in search of Brind Dust. But local twins Nkela and Bobo have been sent into the crater by Mama in order for Nkela to become a woman and goddess.  Science and magic collide in a moasonite village – the crystals put stars in Matilda and Bobo’s eyes, and Veronica’s heart is captured by Hank. Home is where the heart is and they are all the sons “of rage and love”.
