Enjoyed it, about a period I knew little about so go good to read it. ( ) París, 1798. Ethan Gage parte hacia Egipto tras haber ganado un misterioso medallón que, supuestamente, perteneció a Cleopatra. Allí buscará las respuestas para comprender el poder que tiene ese objeto codiciado por todos: la llave de una puerta que aún no ha sido encontrada tras la que se encuentra el Libro de Thoth, en lo que se convertirá en una peligrosa y trepidante aventura. This one promised to be a frolicking adventure and it did not let me down there. So many epic locations were included as backdrops to our tale. I liked the characters, Gage, Napoleon, even General Dumas - the tale felt like one of Alexandre Dumas' Musketeer romps. I was very aware of the author's pacing. Some passages would be hell-for-leather and then there would be a long chapter of talking and explaining. I loved the occasional witty banter. I was bored several times but I always came back, which I guess is something. I'm not sure if I'll read more the in series or not. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Ethan Gage (1)
"A frothy, swashbuckling tale of high adventure....Escapist fiction at its ultimate." --Seattle Times "It has a plot as satisfying as an Indiana Jones film and offers enough historical knowledge to render the reader a fascinating raconteur on the topics of ancient Egypt and Napoleon Bonaparte." --USA Today A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author William Dietrich introduces readers to the globe-trotting American adventurer Ethan Gage in Napoleon's Pyramids--an ingenious, swashbuckling yarn whose action-packed pages nearly turn themselves. The first book in Dietrich's fabulously fun New York Times bestselling series, Napoleon's Pyramids follows the irrepressible Gage--a brother in spirit to George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman--as he travels with Napoleon's expedition across the burning Egyptian desert in an attempt to solve a 6,000 year old riddle with the help of a mysterious medallion. Here is superior adventure fiction in the spirit of Jack London, Robert Lewis Stevenson, and H. Rider Haggard, and fans of their acclaimed successors--James Rollins, David Liss, Steve Berry, Kate Mosse--will certainly want to get to know Ethan Gage. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
