    About this audiobook

    For centuries, historians have speculated that the Queen of Sheba is nothing more than a seductive legend; but when undercover agent Omar Zagouri finds a tomb in a tunnel beneath Jerusalem, he unearths cryptic clues that may lead to the queen’s final resting place.

    This discovery, if authentic, could throw into question the governmental claim to the Holy Land—and prove the Bible false. Wealthy collectors, ruthless archaeologists, and officials from Egypt, Ethiopia, Israel, and Yemen scramble to find and lay claim to the secret site.

    Dr. Richard Lyon of Brown University, the world’s leading expert on the queen, is found murdered in his office, setting off a chain of deadly events. Omar desperately works to piece together the puzzle to locate the queen’s burial ground, fearing another assassination will take place. He teams up with one of Lyon’s protégées as well as with his ex-girlfriend, agent Mia Golding, in order to unravel the truth about the queen, expose a murderer, and reveal a timeless story of love, revenge, and sacrifice.

    Revised edition: This edition of Finding Sheba includes editorial revisions.

      The Queen of Sheba may be just a myth to some, with no archaeological evidence to back up her existence. However, to many cultures, her life and death on their lands holds great value and significance. When Dr. Richard Lyon, an expert on the Queen believes that he is close to finding the place where she is buried, he is murdered. Meanwhile, undercover agent for Israeli Intelligence, Omar Zagouri has uncovered a tomb in Jerusalem with some clues connected to the Queen. As soon as news of the findings surface, many dangerous organizations and people begin vying to be the ones to find the tomb, or even destroy it.An exciting historic thriller with many twists and turns. There were a lot of points of view to keep up with, Omar and fellow agent Mia, Dr. Lyon’s protégés Lucas and Jade, Alem a crewmember who found the first tomb and Queen Sheba herself. While the mystery and conspiracies happening in the present were all intriguing, it was the Queen’s narrative that captured me. The Queen’s insight, bravery and boldness captivated me as well as the author’s very imaginative and detailed take on her story from the very little we know about her. I was also happy to get to read more about Omar, who caught my attention in Beneath. His character shines as he weaves his way in and out of dangerous situations with the help of Mia. I would still love to know more about his background, hopefully that will be in future books. This book was received for free in return for an honest review.

      Seriously one of the best books I've read in a long time! There was plenty of action to keep me on edge and wanting to read more! I loved that it's told from 3 different views and it all comes together in the end. It kind of reminds me of The Da Vinci code with all the history and the way they have to uncover where the Queen of Sheba was buried.

      This was a great story about finding the tomb of the Queen of Sheba. I liked the characters but did not love them. The historical part of the story was my favorite. I wanted that to keep going on. The modern day stuff was a little slow for me until the last part and then it was great. I look forward to reading more books by H. B. Moore. I received this ebook from ebooksforreview.com for a fair and honest opinion.

      Finding Sheba is a great story which successfully combines four tales into one! Three of the tales include separate groups united by one excavation. The fourth, a group who lived in ancient history. H.B. ties them together in a manner that is not confusing to the reader. She adeptly describes each scene and event, riveting the reader into a feeling of actually being there.This is about an group of various people in diversified careers brought together through an archaeological discovery. The adventure begins with a brief reflection pertaining to how each of the key individuals became a part of this experience. It continues to include new events and characters. Once the reader passes the first few pages, he/she is hooked! After that, it is very difficult to put the book down until the very end.The characters were created in a way one felt one knew them. as, stated earlier, the events were vivid and the picture was created in one's mind as clearly as on a movie screen. This was a thrilling adventure from start to finish, yet somehow it lacked the emotional effect H.B. often impacts the reader with. There were emotions stated but not totally felt by the reader. This is the ONLY negative I discovered in the whole book. It was very well-written and edited. The cover is appealing and depicts the storyline well.For this reason alone I review this book with a Four and a Half Stars rating.I am a huge fan of H.B.'s writings and she graciously sent this for an honest review, of which I have given.

      5 STARS This is my first book that I have read of Heathers but not the last. I had a hard time putting the book down last night. Read until I couldn't anymore. Boy was it exciting and fascinating to read about the area. I would love to read more of Heather's books. Finding Sheba tells of a race to find Queen Sheba's casket. That different religions and different nations believe she lived or did not live in certain countries. Some wanted the truth out and others did not if it was against what they wanted found. (I want to find out more facts about the things and events mentioned, countries.) It weaves the storylines of three groups till they meet and merge again coming up to understanding or finding more about Sheba. I loved it. Omar is a spy for Israel but he hates his boss and even though he pretend to be different people from different cultures and religions. He likes and respects most of them. While he is pretending to be Palestinian and help build a tunnel beneath the Israeli border they break into a tomb with lots of writing on walls. He is ordered to take the cameras he has already hidden in the tunnel and get back across the border. When Omar is taking out the cameras in the middle of the night he goes into the tomb and takes pictures and looks at the walls. He is sent on another mission right away into a different country. He gives his two notice. It also at times goes back to 900 AD and follows Queen Sheba and we slowly learn her story. The other line it follows is Jade who is writing her thesis on Queen Sheba and is doing an internship with Dr. Lyon's about Queen Sheba but he is murdered. She still travels to Egypt to work on her thesis meets with Dr. Lucas Morel who was working with Dr. Lyon and they work and travel looking into different leads into Sheba's life. There is so much drama and action in this novel. It has murder, spies, conspiracies, different religions even cannibals. You are never sure who to trust. I wish I was a writer and could do a better to express how much I liked getting lost into this book. It is a fun clean read. I was given this ebook to read and asked in return to give honest review of it when finished on their blog tour.
