An adventure tale told mainly through the eyes of a fifteen year old.In the arid plains of North Africa, a secret lurks, one that could unearth a long-lost civilization buried millennia ago in the sand.After Duncan Beckett picks up a stone tile engraved with strange shapes in an Algerian market, he’s thrust deep into the heart of a mystery 14,000 years in the making. Stranger yet is the stone’s origin, which coincides with a massive climatic shift at the end of an ancient Ice Age in Greenland.Soon, Duncan and his father have set out on an adventure that will take them from the Arctic’s frozen ice fields to the scorching sands of the Sahara. It also turns out that there is even more to this lost civilization than they thought, and there are those out there who would do anything to exploit it for profit.In a final showdown, can they prevail and save the discovery for all mankind?
