Recenzii

Brokaw's hero is Indiana Jones without the whip. Who knew archeology could be so exciting? Wonderful entertainment.
Short, gripping chapters move the action from Egypt to Russia to Africa to London. Indiana Jones meetsThe Da Vinci Code. Look out, Dan Brown, Brokaw can play this game a lot better than most of your imitators
In the 19th century, the equivalent of a blockbuster movie was a tense, thrilling novel, often told in serial form. We tend to forget that the modern novel need not be anything more significant than excellent entertainment, which is the perfect description of Charles Brokaw'sThe Atlantis Code . . .A rollicking adventure, with nonstop action and suspense. Readers can only hope that Brokaw is prepared to send Professor Lourds on further quests
A winning combination of all the ingredients an adventure addict could want: great action, intrepid archeologists, dark conspiracies, cliffhangers, and a real sense of wonder
Storytelling doesn't get much better than this. I've set this one aside to read again!
