The Sand Devil

A mysterious explosion occurs in the antiquities department of the British Museum in London. This event triggers a chain of investigations involving museum specialists, an heiress of an influential family, and a secret unit. The traces lead to the legend of the «Atlantis of the Sands» — a lost city in the deserts of Arabia — and to a source of energy pursued by various forces. The story includes an expedition through dangerous territories, a confrontation with mercenaries, political intrigues, and a scientific mystery capable of growing into a global threat. The novel combines adventure, a spy plot, and elements of science fiction without veering into dry theory.
