Secret of the Sands is like Indiana Jones, Stargate, Mummy, 5th Element, and National Treasure all rolled into one, yet it remains completely unique.
Archaeologists Mitch and Alex are looking for the one discovery to put them on the map, to finally make them respected in their field. When Alex stumbles across an artifact over 12,000 years old, they may have just found it. But is the find of a lifetime worth the trouble it brings? That's what Mitch, Alex, and their "Rogue Squadron" of sidekicks must decide.
Now more than ever before, they must avoid the wrath of a greedy professor bent on stealing their glory, while unraveling the mysterious history of an ancient race never before seen or heard of and discovering the long pondered answer to the riddle of the sphinx - It's older than anyone's ever previously guessed! With the help of some unknown and mysterious allies, the team also discovers much more than they bargained for. Is the world ready?
This excitingly vivid, page-turning adventure is infused with history, humor, and excitement. Rai Aren and Tavius E. have created a fun and intelligent, spectacular story with characters I both love and love to hate. There is just enough historical and scientific fact mixed in to make this fictional story plausible and intriguing. What a wonderful way to spotlight archaeological theories that have lost the public eye.
This book made me keep wanting to read and by half-way through, it's hard to put down. Secret of the Sands is a thrillride until the very end. I loved every minute of it and I can't wait to board the next ride.
Rai Aren and Tavius E. are working on the sequel Destiny of the Sands.
