DESCRIPTION:
"The usual sort of Austin/Zavala adventure but with…" according to A. Burchfield. …the appearance, this time of Juan Cabrillo and others from the "Oregon Files" series.I think I've read all of the Kurt Austin stories, this one is a pretty good match up with the others so if you like them this will be good too. The adventure this time involves Egypt and at one point saving the day using a hastily repaired 70+ year old Nazi vehicle.I've noticed in many of Cussler's books that characters from one series w. Nost enjoyable always Cussler's books are any thing but predictable. I have enjoyed every one of his books , I have kept them in my library. A couple of friends that I loaned a Cussler book to read had trouble giving them back. I made them buy their own copies. As long as he keeps writing books I'll keep reading them. I found his frist book in soft cover under three titles and still have them.. Robin (Educator) said Action--Adventure--Historical Context! A Triple Winner!. If you are Cussler fan, this one does not disappoint! It reads quickly and the story line keeps you engaged. I really enjoyed this novel. I call him the 'James Bond of the Ocean'.I love adventure novels and the way he uses historical context to provide a starting point for a current day adventure.
