An inexplicable explosion rocks the antiquities collection of a London museum, and the race begins to determine how it happened, why it happened, and what it means.
Lady Kara Kensington's family paid a high price in money and blood to found the gallery that now lies in ruins. Her search for answers leads Kara and her friend, Safia al-Maaz, the gallery's curator, into a world they never dreamed existed. Evidence exposed by the tragedy suggests that Ubar, a lost city buried beneath the Arabian desert, is more than mere legend...and that something astonishing is waiting there.
The two extraordinary women and their guide, Omaha Dunn, are not the only ones being drawn to the desert. Former U.S. Navy SEAL Painter Crowe, a covert government operative and head of an elite counter-espionage team, is hunting down a dangerous turncoat and the trail is pointing him toward Ubar.
What is hidden below the sand is more than a valuable relic of ancient history. It is an ageless power that lives and breathes. Many lives have already been destroyed by ruthless agencies dedicated to guarding its mysteries and harnessing its might. The end may be at hand for Kara, Safia, Crowe, and all of the interlopers who wish to expose its mysteries, as it prepares to unleash the most terrible storm of all.

While there is romance in this story and it plays a decent-sized part, it doesn't consume the story, but adds to it.
I truly enjoyed listening to the recording. The narrator has a very easy voice to listen to and he narrates the emotions of the characters well.
Now I need to go buy the next book. This series is going to consume my whole world and I love it.

Would you consider the audio edition of Sandstorm to be better than the print version?
Yes, we are audio book junkie as we travel a lot! You can't read in the dark, but you can listen.Have you listened to any of John Meagher’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
First time listener and we both enjoyed his different voices for the characters.Adventure with Archeological Truths!

My one note for this audio book is not with the book itself, but with the vocal narrator. Throughout the recording, a vigilant listener well notice that the narrator flip-flops between multiple pronunciations of character- and place names (e.g. Kara being pronounced both CARE-uh and CARR-uh, sometimes within the same chapter). Additionally, a lack of vocal range tends to make different characters sound like they have the same voice, taking attention away from his superb rendering of regional accents. For example, the two main female leads, each with very distinct personalities, would be indistinguishable if you didn't already know who was talking. This makes for a slightly jarring listening experience, when all one really wants to do is absorb the story passively.
These comments aside, this novel receives high marks and high recommendation all around, and in this reviewer's opinion, so should any work by this author. Open it up, and enjoy!
