Produktbeschreibung

1914, and an English archaeologist called Somerville is fulfilling a lifelong dream: to direct an excavation in the desert of Mesopotamia. Yet forces beyond his control threaten his work.

The Great War is looming, and various interest groups are vying for control over the land and its manyprizes.

Naked ambition, treachery and greed are at play, in a thrilling adventure from the master of the historical novel.
