The Sunbird

In Wilbur Smith's The Sunbird, Dr. Ben Kazin is a brilliant archeologist. Louren Sturvesant is rich, impulsive, and physically imposing, everything Ben is not. Now, the two men — friends, competitors and partners — are searching for the legendary lost city of Opet, built by who escaped the fall of Carthage two thousand years ago.

For Ben, the expedition is a chance to prove a controversial thesis. For Louren, it is a chance to spend millions — and make it all back in gold and glory. But what awaits them is an astounding discovery, a siege of terror, and an act of betrayal that will tear the two men apart and bind them together forever...

Hidden beneath water, jungle, and blood-red cliffs is a lost world where two men and a beautiful woman were caught in a furious battle of passions two thousands years ago, but which has begun once again....
