The clock is ticking! Blackmailed by Jake's nemesis - the vengeful Pierre Perron - Professor Fathom's team of gay adventure-hunters is sent on a seemingly impossible mission to uncover the legendary Riddle of the Sands in order to save one of their own from a rare and deadly poison.

But what is the Riddle of the Sands? Where are the long-lost clues and hidden maps that lead to its whereabouts? Is it a myth, a mirage, or the greatest engineering feat in the history of ancient Egypt?

Experience action, adventure, mystery, hot steamy nights, and the hunkiest squad of adventure-hunters this side of the Nile in Geoffrey Knight’s latest novel, The Riddle of the Sands. From the icy plains of Siberia to the shadowy bathhouses of Cairo, from the scorching valley of the Nile to the heart of the Amazon jungle, join native New Yorker Jake Stone, Brazilian biologist Eden Santiago, Texan cowboy Shane Houston, Italian art expert Luca da Roma, and college quarterback Will Hunter in their greatest adventure yet. Scour the globe with this gay quartet in their search to uncover the elusive riddle of the sands while hitting some sexy bumps on the way. This action packed adventure will keep the pages turning and you yearning for more from this heroic team.
