Ancient secrets ignite a perilous African adventure
Vintage book in Fair Condition – noticeable cover, spine and edge wear with heavy page tanning and foxing.
Archaeologist and historian Benjamin Kazin believes a mysterious ruined city in Africa may hold the key to a lost civilisation. Backed by powerful businessman Louren Sturvesant and joined by a team whose loyalties are not always clear, he sets out to uncover its secrets. The expedition becomes a struggle involving ambition, rivalry, passion and violence, while the ancient past begins to echo the present. Wilbur Smith combines archaeological mystery with sweeping adventure, moving between eras to tell a dramatic story of discovery, power and the destructive patterns history can repeat.
