Mystery Though this is rather fantastic speculative fiction, and you really need your "suspending your disbelief" button pressed, I still liked it a lot. Who doesn't like a story with a cyclops in it? Though I'm rather sick of Gideon and his freaking eating animals (oh but he's such a great chef don't you know), I will keep on reading these Gideon Crew books. Next one I suppose will be about going after that alien on the bottom of the ocean floor down in Anarctica. Well, you have my Kindle highlight and notes, carry on. This is my first Gideon Crew novel and it was very, very good - loved the characters and the story line, plenty of action and a couple of plot twists that kept me engrossed. As with all of the Preston and Child books, the writing is well done and the research is good. I liked the way they tied everything together and even brought in a bit of sci-fi/fantasy. Crew steals a page from the book of Kells and the EES people discover a map underneath that leads to an island that is the home of a plant with extreme healing properties. But oh, if only it were that straightforward. The clues on the map appear indecipherable and the journey is fraught with danger and difficulty and they do find exactly what they expected. I look forward to more Gideon Crew novels. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Accomplishing the impossible, Gideon steals the parchmentâ??only to learn that hidden beneath the gorgeously illuminated image is a treasure map dating back to the time of the ancient Greeks. As they ponder the strange map, they realize that the treasure it leads to is no ordinary fortune. It is something far more precious: an amazing discovery that could perhaps even save Gideon's life. Together with his new partner, Amy, Gideon follows a trail of cryptic clues to an unknown island in a remote corner of the Caribbean Sea. There, off the hostile and desolate Mosquito Coast, the pair realize the extraordinary treasure they are hunting conceals an even greater shock-a revelation so profound that it may benefit the entire human race . . . if Gideon and Amy can Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
