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’ve read quite a few of James Rollins novels and have enjoyed the Sigma Force series. This was my first audiobook and it was fantastic.

Kept me interested from start to finish

I'm pretty picky with my narrators, but I thought this was a fantastic listening experience. Meagher really nailed the voices of all the different characters without leaning into stereotypes. The story felt like a sweeping epic blockbuster with some really interesting science, Arabian history and mythology in the mix. This would make a great movie!

Exactly what I wanted it to be

A good adventure.

Great book, well read too. I always appreciate when the voice actor reading it does voices for characters, even if it does sound a bit silly when they portray another gender.

Awesome book

One of my favourite James Rollins books. Well told by a person with a rubber voice flexing into the people. I use audiobooks when I’m in the recovery phase of chronic migraine. The reader's voice is perfect.

A favourite Rollins story well read.
