Combining the three first books, and I had already read the first, so I just skipped right through to #2. Ok adventure tale, same with the third book. I think I'm done with this series, though. The writing just isn't quite tight enough and it's fairly predictable. ( ) (Review specifically for Solomon's Jar, but referring to the entirety of the volume/series concept as a whole.) Attractive female archaeologist with a mystical destiny, questing for mysterious ancient artifacts that could destroy the world if they fell into the wrong hands = I will love it. Yes, the Rogue Angel series reads like a combination of Tomb Raider, Relic Hunter, Indiana Jones, and Uncharted, but that's why I love it. It's ridiculous, full of intense action, wild adventure scenes, and moments of utter insanity. Meanwhile, the archaeological lingo is spot on, including inside jokes about archaeology as a career and little digs at prominent archaeologists, and even accurate mentions of various theories concerning whatever the main character is chasing at the time. I liked the first book in this series, and loved the mindless adventure found in this one. If the writing stays this good, I'll be happy to read the next 17+ books in the series. I realize that there are 3 or 4 writers working under the Alex Archer pseudonym to write these books, but they must all have strong backgrounds in the field or have an archaeological consultant go through the manuscripts, because... dang. So much fun, rather addictive, and suitably ridiculous. Looking forward to book three! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Rogue Angel (1-3) Bevat
Collect the first three tales of the Rogue Angel series A heroine for the ages, from the ages. Annja Creed is an archaeologist and explorer whose own extraordinary bloodline is linked to the powerful legend of Joan of Arc.... Destiny The myths of the past lead Annja Creed to France, where the terrifying legend of the Beast of Gevaudan hints at the unimaginable. What she discovers is shattering: an artifact that will seal her destiny; a brotherhood of monks willing to murder to protect their secret; and a powerful black-market occultist desperate to put his own claim to centuries-old blood money. Solomon's Jar Rumors of Solomon's Jar, in which the biblical King Solomon bound the world's demons after using them to build his temple in Jerusalem, are followed with interest by Annja. Her search for the truth about the vessel leads to a confrontation with a London cult driven by visions of a new world order. Annja embarks on a relentless chase to stop humanity's most unfathomable secrets from reshaping the modern world. The Spider Stone In the remains of an old Underground Railroad tunnel, a strange, encrypted stone reveals a dark secret of Africa's ancient past. Intrigued by the mysterious artifact, Annja opens a door to a legend bound by a terrible force. She is not alone in her pursuit of the impossible. Annja's odyssey into the Senegalese jungle becomes a desperate race to stop those eager to unleash the virulence of the Spider God. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
