Former Green Beret, Nate Wilde, knows it’ll take something special to get ahead in his new civilian academic career. Like locating a lost Arabian city, the legendary Atlantis of the Sands. So, when his archaeological dig is rejected by Harvard, he resolves to return anyway to the place where his comrades were killed when their mission was compromised. He's joined by the only men he truly trusts: three survivors of that fateful day. But a team of deadly mercenaries is racing them, their objective unknown. Soon Nate’s treasure hunt becomes a fight for survival, and win or lose, the outcome will change the course of history...
