Book Reviews of Sandstorm

Another great Rollins book. This one takes us to the Arabian Peninsula, searching for a lost city. It has great action and the treasure hunt clues and searches I look for in a book like this. The characters are well written and I even liked the bad guy in this one. Looking forward to reading more of Rollins' adventure novels.

A great read! It was hard to put down after the first few chapters!

I loved this book. He has to be the greatest writer. The book starts off with a bang and never stops. It always has something going on. Also I love it that this author's writing is based on factual places and sometimes factual events. This should be made into a movie.

This book gets more interesting as it goes along. It ends in a spectacular setting, one that seems like it would be unbelievable, but doesn't. This book weaves history, myth and modern day reality so well, you won't even blink at some of the unusual elements in this book.

It's a page-turner until almost the end. The epilogue falls a bit flat by trying to wrap up a loose end quickly. Other than that, an excellent read.

This is another great James Rollins book. As an author he makes you think about what is real and what is not, it always leaves me wanting more even after reading 570 pages. I just can't get enough, also the historical parts are great.

IF YOU ARE AN ADVENTURE STORY FAN------THIS IS ONE AUTHOR THAT TAKES A STORY EVEN FURTHER THAT CUSSLER- YOU TRULY NEVER KNOW WHAT IS AROUND THE CORNER- HE FITS IT TOGETHER LIKE A LARGE 2000 PIECE PUZZLE. ONE PIECE AT A TIME- SORRY I CAN'T TELL YOU MUCH OF THE STORY BECAUSE I HAVE WRITTEN THIS 3X- TELL TOOOOOOOO MUCH OF IT EACH TIME. TRULY EXCELLENT

10 STARS**********

Really great adventure novel

I don't know why I keep reading James Rollins books. Well, yes I do - I like the story lines, the mysteries - but I do not necessarily like his style of writing. I find myself saying "ya da ya da" to skip over some of his prose, but I keep reading to find out what is the great mystery. Some are a big let down some are not. You decide for yourself.

This book is now ready for release.

Another terrific book by Rollins! Read it!

I really enjoyed this book just like I have enjoyed all of James Rollins books. It's full of non-stop action.

Great read...I have ordered more of his tales because I hate to end one. Read the regular book intro and then add some with your imagination...he does...you won't be able to put it down.

great writer-love all his books!

Lots of adventure, would love to see it as a movie.

This was a great read.

An inexplicable explosion rocks the antiquities collection of a London museum, setting off alarms in clandestine organizations around the world.

Lady Kara Kensington's family paid a high price in money and blood to found the gallery that now lies in ruins. And her search for answers is about to lead Kara; 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 actually existed: a lost city buried beneath the Arabian desert, where something astonishing is waiting.

"High Adventure...

Sandstorm is from a tradition that goes back at least as far as H. Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines... It worked for Haggard's Alan Quartermain, it worked for Indiana Jones... [it] works here."
-San Jose Mercury News

An inexplicable explosion rocks the antiquities collection of a London museum, setting off alarms in clandestine organizations around the world.

A covert government operative hunting a dangerous turncoat- his former partner- is being drawn there as well. But the many perils of a death -defying trek deep into the savage heart of the Arabian Peninsula pale before the nightmare to be unearthed at journey's end- an ageless power that lives and breathes, an awesome force that can create a utopia... or tear down everything humankind has built over millennia of civilization.

"One of the most inventive storytellers writing today."
Lincoln Child, co-author of Still Life with Crows

Alot of adventure and intrige. good information good writer

Hard to put down Gene C

I thought it started awfully slow, but once you read farther into the book it gets to be faster reading.

One of the most engrossing books I have read that he has written. A real page turner.

fast-paced, imaginative adventure with larger-than-life characters. very fun read.

fast paced adventure- i felt like i was there

Great writer!

Ok, but moved slow. Not one of his best books.

And her search for answers is about to lead Kara; 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 actually existed: a lost city buried beneath the Arabian desert where something astonishing is waiting.....

Desert Adventure. Indiana Jones move over.

An explosing rocks the antiquities collection of a London museum and sets off alarms in clandestine organizations around the world. If you like intrigue, try this one.

Fast paced. Definitely could be made into an action movie.

A great read, kept me up late a few nights trying to finish it.Indiana Jones-type story with great plot and detail.

A lost city in the Arabian desert, covert government operations, and paranormal powers that are disturbed. Kind of an Indian Jones story. Very surprising twists and turns.

Non stop action, a great summer read.

nice action adventure piece from an auhtor I have enjoyed in the past

I was pulled into this story like a whirlpool of sand dropping below my feet,very exciting and thought provoking throughout.

Another thrilling epic by the master of invention and innovation!

Awesome read!!!

Fun read, lots of adventure, thrills and chills.

Typical Rollins adventure... good read!

Not as good as Amazonia or Deep Fathom. Took me about 1/3 of the book to become captured.

Great read. Very intertaining

one of james rollins very best

Rollins continues his excellent adventures.

Covert government hunts an ageless power deep in the desert. A london museam and gallery add opulence to what could be the destruction of everything a woman holds dear. When you finish this one, your husband will want to read it. Mine got to it 1st and I almost cried.

A great mix of science and fiction. (Not 'science fiction'...)
