Recensione:

"Impressive...an exciting, action-packed epic that will appeal to history buffs, thrill-seekers, travel enthusiasts and romance fans."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"When I was a kid I loved being swept across oceans by great spellbinding reads like Mutiny on the Bounty and Seven Pillars of Wisdom. David Ball's Empires of Sand rates a spot on that same shelf. It's old-fashioned in the best sense--literate, thematically ambitious, scholarly and swashbuckling at the same time.

"The thinking man's page-turner, Empires of Sand is simultaneously a masterful reimagining of a world most of us never knew existed and a ripsnorting E-ticket yarn. Clearly Mr. Ball is the real deal; he knows the Sahara, the Paris of the Prussian siege, the world of the nomadic Tuareg. David Ball writes with the joy of an author who loves his material and is in absolute command of it."
--Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire

"This is a sensational novel! David Ball writes with extraordinary passion, enthusiasm, and skill. The opening scene is absolutely brilliant, and it just gets better after that."
--Max Byrd, author of Jefferson
