Publisher's summary

A Line in the Sand captures the essence of the Middle East with a richly detailed historical fiction of two lifelong friends - Magnus and Finn - thrown into a sleuthing adventure where mysteries of the Middle East and its people are gradually revealed. Following the trail of clues left by one TE Lawrence - Lawrence of Arabia - the Gentlemen ramble from Europe to the Levant to Arabia as their quest gains momentum, the situation on the ground unwinds, and history repeats itself.

Aided by a discarded artifact and two younger proteges- one Jew, one Arab- the Gentlemen experience a rich tapestry of the Middle East rarely experienced by westerners- locations, customs, food, languages, behaviors, historical perspective. As the treasure is revealed, the listener gains a greater understanding of the meaning of their adventure, and why it must be shared.

Great exploration

As someone who has always been fascinated by the history of the Middle East, this book offered a great exploration of the region. The character of Magnus and Finn are delightfully complex and their journey across the Middle East is filled with suspense and intrigue. The addition of their young proteges adds a fresh dynamic and helps bridge the historical divide. This audiobook not only captures the essence of Middle Eastern culture, but also highlights the importance of understanding and friendship across cultural lines. A must listen for anyone who loves a good adventure with a hefty dose of historical significance.

A Brilliant Adventure! Full Marks!

First off, I have to say that I fit the demographic of the audience for this book perfectly.
I'm an american, interested in world travel and exploration.
I'm a 55+ man
Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorite films.
This book is EXTREMELY well-written. And the narration is possibly even better.
Time travel, the battle of Aqaba, and just learning about all the customs, it just doesn't get any better than this.
A great synthesis of education and entertainment.
