Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday March 11th at 6:30 pm as they welcome Ella Alexander to the store to discuss and sign "The Sleeping Land". Joining her in conversation will be E. P. Tuazon. 

Less than two years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, three junior archeologists and their gloryhound advisor arrive at a remote cave in the heart of the Siberian wilderness to carry out the first extensive Western dig on Russian soil since the execution of the Czar. 

 Surrounded by a looming forest with eerie silences and flickering shadows, Valerie, Kit, and Mark begin their dig under the eccentric and charismatic guidance of the venerable George Auberon. The excavation yields fascinating discoveries, and excitement grows among the team, but George’s true motivations soon reveal themselves to be much less noble than he originally let on.
