This review is from: Atlantis of the Sands: The Search for the Lost City of Ubar (Hardcover)
This book was my introduction to Ranulph Fiennes. I have been interested in the lost city of Ubar since reading about it in T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars. As a university student in 1973, I actually did some research into the mystery and even got so far as to trying to find funding to look for the city (it was to be my Graduate work in Archeology). That didn't work out so, many years later when I heard that the city had finally been found and that the explorer had written a book on the search, I immediately bought it and read, with delight, that someone had achieved my dream!The book is well written and informative with good discriptions of the search, the people involved, and the logistics of the campaign. It also serves as a nice introduction to Mr, Fiennes. In both his fiction and non-fiction work he is an intelligent writer who always gives the reader something to "chew" on. I have now read seven of his books and, while this is not his best, it is still an informative and interesting read.
