After writing such good science faction like Amazonia, Rollins has devolved into writing this bad piece, with a highly unbelievable storyline, an even more unbelievable plot, and the characters are again paper mannequins.Sandstorm is the story of the lost city of Ubar, with which the famous Queen of Sheba is also involved somehow. The story has some imaginative typical Rollins action sequences and nature-borne-surprises, but overall the story fails to elicit the kind of response that his other books have done.The cliche factor is a little toned down in spoken words, but not as far as stereotypical characterization is concerned. Rollins should seriously consider revamping his thought process, and introducing someone a little fresh and original in his stories.overall, no more than 1.5 / 5
