: En el año 70 d.C., un grupo de soldados romanos que cruzan el desierto del Sahara es aniquilado por una presencia feroz y misteriosa oculta en una torre solitaria en los confines del mar de arena. El único superviviente, el adivino etrusco Avile Vipinas, se salva inexplicablemente por el sonido de su sistro de plata. Diecinueve siglos después, el joven erudito estadounidense Philip Garrett está investigando la desaparición de su padre en el desierto 10 años antes, cuando descubre la casa de Avile Vipinas en las ruinas subterráneas de Pompeya, sellada por el terremoto del 79 d.C. El antiguo vidente, antes de su muerte, había intentado describir la horrible presencia en la Torre de la Soledad y dar los primeros pasos vacilantes para su destrucción. ¿Quién es la antigua civilización, más antigua que la más antigua conocida, que creó esta torre? ¿Cuál es su propósito? Valerio Manfredi ha escrito una novela de suspense histórica con un toque antiguo.

70 AD. A group of Roman soldiers crossing the Sahara desert is destroyed by a ferocious and mysterious presence hidden in a solitary tower at the extreme borders of the sea of sand. The sole survivor, the Etruscan seer Avile Vipinas, is inexplicably saved by the sound of his silver sistrum.
Nineteen centuries later, young American scholar Philip Garrett is investigating his father’s disappearance in the desert 10 years earlier when he discovers the house of Avile Vipinas in the underground ruins of Pompeii, sealed by the earthquake of 79 AD.The ancient seer, before his death, had tried to describe the horrific presence in the Tower of Solitude and to make the first faltering steps to its destruction . . .
Who is the ancient civilization – older than the oldest known – that created this tower? What is its purpose?
After conquering the ancient world with his bestselling novels of antiquity, Valerio Manfredi has written a page-turning period thriller with an ancient twist.
