Format:Paperback
Sidney Sheldon's adventure is set amid the Basque rebellion in Spain in the 70s. Sadistic Spanish Colonel Acoca raids a convent, searching for the famous rebel leader Jaime Miro. Four nuns, each with shocking past lives, escape and find themselves traveling the countryside with Miro's band of partisans. It is a cat and mouse game of chase between the evil Acoca and charismatic Miro, who suspects one of his friends is an informant.
The story speeds along at a frantic, life-or-death pace, as each of the characters is given a fascinating, even amazing, back-story, and in typical Sheldon style, there are endless close-calls and a conclusion that will leave you breathless and satisfied. This is one of the author's best, combining thrills, romance, politics, and ultimate justice. Fans of Sidney Sheldon's novels will definitely enjoy "The Sands of Time."

This book is one of the most exciting and thrilling books i have read for a long time. I think this book is one of the best Sidney Sheldon has written to date. The Sands of Time is a story about four nuns who are forced to flee their spanish convent and face a world they long ago deserted. Suddenely they find themselves in between the struggle of the Basque nationalists led by Jamie Miro and the Spanish Army led by Colonel Ramon Acoca who wants to destroy them all. This story has history, romance and suspense and i recommend it to all.
