Summary
"A Canadian crew prospecting for gold in the remote Yemen desert stumbles upon a mysterious plaque--and Larry Frolick suddenly finds himself on a wild journey across three continents, in search of the fabled Queen of Sheba. Along the way he meets an eclectic group of madmen and visionaries: extreme geologists, paranoid archaeologists, randy shark hunters, punk missionaries, Turkish beats, borderline German adventurers, and the last Director of the Back to Africa Movement-- pilgrims all, whose vivid tales create a surreal backdrop to his solo quest for "the epical Queen."--Back cover.
