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 metropolist 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. In this latest voyage of imagination combining hard science with explosive page-turning excitement-his most breathtaking yet-he explores the mysterious sands of the Arabian peninsula. In his five previous thrillers, James Rollins, the king of speculative adventure writing, has taken readers on mind-expanding journeys spanning from the top of the world to deep within the earth’s surface. “Rollins writes with intelligence, clarity, and a refreshing sense of humor.”-Kirkus Reviews More heart-stopping action and suspense from the bestselling author of Amazonia and Subterranean.
