Blurb: The clock is ticking! Blackmailed by Jake’s nemesis – the vengeful Pierre Perron – Professor Fathom’s team of five horny gay adventurers 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 can lead to its whereabouts? Is it a myth, a mirage, or the greatest engineering feat in the history of ancient Egypt? 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, readers join these hunks — treasure-hunter Jake, Brazilian biologist Eden, Texas cowboy Shane, art expert Luca, and quarterback Will — in a search that blends nonstop action and high-octane sex!.

Reviewer: Shorty
Review: The professor and his team are back in this fast paced, action packed sequel. Lots of steamy action to be had as well. There is a lot going on as it was non stop from start to finish. I loved all the mystery and heart stopping moments that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
The mysteries were well written and engaging. The details of the scenes made me feel as though I was actually there witnessing the events as they unfolded. The characters all had roles to play and they did an amazing job at it.
All in all it was a great addition to the series.
