Sheba

On the eve of the Second World War, as German armies gather to invade Poland, Hitler has a master plan to distract the British while the blitzkrieg takes place. A German archaeologist from Dahrein, Otto Muller, who has made a sensational discovery, is summoned to Berlin. In Dahrein, the Spanish-held port on the Gulf, Gavin Kane, an American trader, and Ruth Cunningham embark on a search to find Ruth's husband, an archaeologist who has disappeared in the desert while trying to find the long-lost temple of Sheba. With little to go on but the ancient testament of a Greek adventurer, Alexias, the only survivor of a Roman expedition of 24 BC, Kane and Cunningham venture into the inhospitable Empty Quarter, the Rub' al Khali, a region of outlaws, treachery, and death. They rely on their cunning and ingenuity to survive the deserts and its denizens, drawn by the allure of Sheba. Upon reaching their destination, they uncover a conspiracy with potentially devastating global consequences.
