Empire of Gold

This is the same formula as all the other books, but still enjoyable. Another “myth” or “legend” that our good guys go looking for, only to be stalled by bad guys looking for the same thing. Lots of shooting and killing, including some of the good guys (or red shirts as they are called in some other genres). I did not like the ending, though. All along I have felt that Nina has a fairly big ego and will stop at nothing to get her way (and throws a hissy fit when she is called on it), and I often wonder why Eddie fell in love and married her. Parts of this book reinforce that notion. However, if you like lots of action, danger and adventure, this is a good book to read.

This is mostly due to the narrator.

The story is good, 3-4 stars from me at least.

The voice work just drained so much of the story. While I’m also not a huge fan of the previous voice work in this series, Sachs just didn’t have the range. He did great for anyone who could be described as ‘older white guy.’ I know the cast in these novels can be quite diverse, the main characters alone have very distinct ways of speaking.

Anyways, the story was great and you can expect a lot of what you know and love from the previous novels.

The further adventures of Nina and Eddie Chase,some of the more endearing characters conjured for this type of adventure novel.These are more believable and likeable characters than any in,say,a James Rollins or Matthew Reilley book in my opinion,and I have read the whole series so far except “Excalibur” and the “sequel” to this one.Almost finished this one,I am only docking it one star reason being “Atlantis” part one and “Covenant of Genesis” were more impressive books,”Pyramid of Doom” was pretty good as were the ones about Hercules and the Hindu artifact thief,but this one has a ton of action and is a good cure for boredom!Indiana Jones on steroids,awesome if you like a good adventure with some comic relief,these should be movies but oh well,they are better!

Warning!! Don’t read this book just before bed! There is so much action, you’ll never get to sleep !! I Loved the story and the characters. This is the seventh in a series and ended like most books in a series do….in a cliffhanger. Did not like that part. Now I’ve got to read the next book(which I’m happy to do) , just wish it was because I wanted to , not because I want to see the ending. Cool premise.

Another Andy McDermott action packed thriller. The twists and turns are exciting and make the book hard to put down. Mr. McDermott has perfected the art of story telling.
