For the same life-giving force that can save the world is about to set off a giant, sweeping storm awesome enough to annihilate everything in its wake. But before they can resurface, the explorers become trapped. Within Ubar is a powerful energy source that could fuel the entire earth above - if it can be harnessed. What they find, however, is more beautiful than they ever dreamed - and far deadlier. Now, an expedition of scientists, led by the financier’s daughter, is finally setting off for the legendary metropolis to unlock the desert’s secrets. Twenty years ago, a wealthy British financier disappeared near Ubar, the fabled lost city buried beneath the sands of Oman. For fans of Rollins' previous tales, 'Sandstorm' will truly be high on the list of Must Reads this year, and quite possibly his best novel to date. In this latest voyage of imagination combining hard science with explosive excitement - his most breathtaking yet - he explores the mysterious sands of the Arabian peninsula. The absolute best part: How Rollins manages to tie all the pieces together so well as the story weaves itself into a cohesive mix of adventure, REAL history and thrills. In his five previous thrillers, James Rollins, the king of speculative adventure writing, has taken listeners on mind-expanding journeys spanning from the top of the world to deep within the Earth’s surface. More heart-stopping action and suspense from the best-selling author of Amazonia and Subterranean.
