About the Book
About the Author
Dr. Herb Gilliland went from his medical studies into World War II combat in the Pacific, as a flight surgeon on the carrier USS Wasp (CV-18). Staying in the Navy after the war, in 1951 he was ordered to a remarkable assignment: to join an archaeological expedition. Beneath the sands in Yemen, in a spot few outsiders had ever visited, lay the spectacular ruins at Marib, the capital city of the fabled kingdom of Sheba.
