An inexplicable explosion rocks the antiquities collection of a London museum, setting off alarms in clandestine organizations around the world.And now the search for answers is leading Lady Kara Kensington; 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 existed: a lost city buried beneath the Arabian desert.
But others are being drawn there as well, some with dark and sinister purposes. And the many perils of a death-defying trek deep into the savage heart of the Arabian Peninsula pale before the nightmare waiting to be unearthed at journey's end: an ageless and awesome power that could create a utopia... or destroy everything humankind has built over countless millennia.

Good adventure story but I got lost in the science and wanted more operational intrigue. It's non-stop action though, and I plan to continue the series.This is one of those stories I felt that I shouldve liked, but didnt. The plot needed some editing it reached the part I felt shouldve been the exciting climax and then kept going, building to the level of absurdity and then the characters killed it.I liked Safia for all of about one page after she was introduced, after which my opinion of her started to wane. After a chapter of her, I was sincerely hoping shed get killed off, so I was very disappointed to learn that not only would she not get

It took me a bit to get used to his writing style, but I have to say it really worked
2/12/20163 stars. The last time I read this, it took me almost a week to get through it, and it felt like it was never going to end.

Other than that, everything I said last time still stands. 12/12/20142.5 stars. I used to really love James Rollins' books. They're still enjoyable, yes, but I'm not enjoying them nearly as much
Much of what is in the blurb is what I was going to describe in this review so I will try to be brief. Aside from a couple of far fetched incidents during gunfights and wounds, most of the physics, chemistry, cities and tribes described in this story are factual. However, the underground city is not. However, the way Rollins blended his facts and fiction make is seem real and adventurous throughout. I love reading about archaeological digs in books when they are coupled with imagination and
