James Rollins' books push the boundaries of the believable -- and I love them! This book, however, was so unbelievable that it bordered on being ridiculous. Nor did I like the romantic relationships that developed simultaneously between the uncle and his former college sweetheart and between the nephew and his fellow researcher. One romantic relationship would have been enough. Two seemed cheesy.

Enjoyable fast paced read. Again contains a story line that you need the ability to suspend your need for reality. I found it fun and intertaining, certainly a page turner. He does imploy the style of story telling that follows 1st one set of characters and just when they are in jeopardy skips to another set of charaters. I'll be reading more of his books, they are a great "bus" read (I commute to work).

You like archeological digs and ancient history? How about a novel that brings in both of those, then tosses in a chase and a search for buried (well something). Very readable. Good story. A page turner

Another fantastic book, I absolutely love this author, don't know how I didn't hear of him till a few months ago. If you are into pyramids, lost cities and mysterious substances that come from imagination but could be ripped from the pages of laboratories around the world, and the brilliance to throw this altogether then this is the author for you. Oh, and there is always an underlying romantic thread throughout his tales. This one throws some religious fiction and fanatacism into the mix as well. Great book!

It was a bit far fetched even for me and I thought more of the characters should have died. I mean seriously, you just can't go through as much as they did and not have more people die.

Oh well, still really like James Rollins books and his writing style and will continue to read his works!
