From the Publisher
Dr. Ben Kazin is a brilliant acrheologist. Louren Sturvesant is rich, impulsive, and physically imposing, everything Ben is not. Now, the to men--friends, competitors and partner--are searching for the legendary lost city of Opet, built by an Egyptian culture that reached Africa two thousand years ago, then vanished completely.

For Ben, the expedition is a chance to prove a controversial thesis. For Louren, it is a chance to spend milions--and make it all back in gold and glory. But what awaits them is an astounding discovery, a seige of terror, and an act of betrayal that will tear the two men apart and bind them together forever...

Hidden beneath water, jungle, and blood-red cliffs is a lost world where two men and a beautiful woman were caught in a furious battle of passions two thousands years ago, but which has begun once again....

A present day archaelogical discovery in Africa of a long-lost city triggers a present day clash between people and cultures. The tale of the people and history of the ruins is also told, interwoven in a story of modern passions as well as the previous life of the same characters from centuries in the past. Vivid writing and very well done with the author's usual expertise and intimate knowledge of Africa.
