The Sunbird

"As the old man worked, the wind whispered and sighed along the cliffs, and the sigh was that which a man might make when he has lost his love and his land, has denied his gods and given mercy to his friend. Like his ancestors before him, Louren Sturvesant had spent money wisely. He had the financial muscle to fulfil the dreams of his friend Ben Kurzin by funding an expedition to a lost city and the treasure it would contain. But it is a city haunted by an ancient evil let loose in the distant mists of pre-history. An evil that will be awakened by the arrival of Ben, Louren and their companions, demanding a reckoning in copious blood. Even the dramatic whirlpool of Africa today - big game hunts, terrorism and intrigue - the protagonists of The Sunbird are swept back in time, through the battle, romance and tragedy of their pasts in the savage epoch of ancient Carthage."
