About this listen

More heart-stopping action and suspense from the best-selling author of Amazonia and Subterranean....

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. 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.

Twenty years ago, a wealthy British financier disappeared near Ubar, the fabled lost city buried beneath the sands of Oman. 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. What they find, however, is more beautiful than they ever dreamed — and far deadlier. Within Ubar is a powerful energy source that could fuel the entire earth above — if it can be harnessed. But before they can resurface, the explorers become trapped. 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....

I love the mix of fact and fiction. The narrator was not the best but at least his voice is not irritating, he just needs more practice to distinguish between characters.

Great story

Disliked the narrating! I don’t know why the narrator thinks an English woman sounds like a weak and feeble old lady! Nearly ruined the book for me - if the story had not been so gripping - I would have given up just because of the awful accents of the narrator!

Good storyline - made me want to get to the end

The way the author draws all the different characters all together and weaves them through these action packed scenes is very well done. It never feels like it’s dragging and is definitely worth a listen if you love action adventure novels.

A fun action adventure
