Why in Database: A travel book about the title Desert. There are three different turtle fragments in it. All three are comparisons:
On the move for months, lugging our shelter with us wherever we went, we had begun to feel like a turtle with a steel shell.
It was the same lionesses and their adolescent young we had often seen. But on the other occasions when hey had visited camp, the truck had always been nearby; now I felt as vulnerable as a turtle without a shell.
With Echo Whisky Golf, the days were gone when we groveled like turtles, slowly dragging the the metal shell of our Land Cruiser laboratory and home wherever we went.
