**A 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. In this fast-paced techno-thriller, an ancient artifact points the way toward the legendary "Atlantis of the Sands," and 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 in a deadly archaeological thriller, 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.

### Back Jacket

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.
