Here we are dealing with the quintessence of adventure and a quest of epic proportions. The exploration of a new continent leads to the everlasting longing “cherchez la femme”, which is even more imperative and compelling if the woman herself is also eternal and has been an obscure object of desire through centuries. The seducing fatal attraction of a desert and the anticipation of a lost world’s discovery add a lot of fascination to this tremendous physical endeavor, which also contains the strangest love-story. The ambition of this book is to be the continuation of “Atlantis” by Pierre Benoit.
