"Border, Breed Nor Birth" by Mack Reynolds is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The narrative is centered around Homer Crawford, who adopts the persona of El Hassan, a charismatic leader aimed at uniting North Africa amidst a backdrop of political intrigue and international conflict, with a range of powers supporting or opposing his cause. The opening of the story introduces El Hassan, who is currently in a precarious situation and on the run in the Sahara Desert, pursued by various global forces. As he attempts to evade capture, his small group of followers is resolved to fight back against the aggressors, including a military aircraft that threatens them. The text establishes a sense of urgency as the characters strategize against their pursuers, hinting at the ideological struggle between El Hassan's vision of unity and the geopolitical machinations of the time.
