SynopsisA heart-stopping novel of adventure and suspense from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins--the first in his critically acclaimed Sigma Force series A freak explosion in the British Museum in London ignites a perilous race for an earth-shaking power source buried deep beneath the sands of history. Painter Crowe is an agent for Sigma Force, a covert arm of the Defense Department tasked with keeping dangerous scientific discoveries out of enemy hands. When an ancient artifact points the way toward the legendary "Atlantis of the Sands," Painter must travel across the world in search of the lost city-and a destructive power beyond imagining. But Painter has competition. A band of ruthless mercenaries, led by a former friend and ally, are also intent on claiming the prize, and they will destroy anyone who gets in their way. Ancient history collides with cutting-edge science-with the safety of the world at stake., In this limited edition (featuring 3D cover art) of the latest blockbuster from the bestselling master of suspense, a deadly explosion in a London museum sparks a scientific exploration to an ancient lost city in the Arabian desert, where a terrifying secret threatens the world., More heart-stopping action and suspense from the bestselling author of Amazonia and Subterranean. . . . "Rollins writes with intelligence, clarity, and a refreshing sense of humor."--Kirkus Reviews 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. 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. 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 metropolist 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 . . ., An inexplicable explosion rocks the antiquities collection of a London museum, setting off alarms in clandestine organizations around the world. Lady Kara Kensington's family paid a high price in money and blood to found the gallery that now lies in ruins. And her search for answers is about to lead Kara; her friend Safia al-Maaz, the gallery's brilliant and beautiful curator; and their guide, the international adventurer Omaha Dunn, into a world they never dreamed actually existed: a lost city buried beneath the Arabian desert, where something astonishing is waiting. A covert government operative hunting a dangerous turncoat -- his former partner -- is being drawn there as well. But the many perils of a death-defying trek deep into the savage heart of the Arabian Peninsula pale before the nightmare to be unearthed at journey's end -- an ageless power that lives and breathes, an awesome force that can create a utopia ... or tear down everything humankind has built over millennia of civilization.
