review 1: Another solid showing from Andy McDermott as he brings history and myth into an intoxicating chase to save the world from annihilation. BY now the characters are well ingrained and easy to identify with which again makes the novel move seamlessly to its conclusion where once agai...

review 1: What a book! I just caught sight of a blurb which says that this is the 8th in a series starring Dr. Nina Wilde and her husband, Eddie Chase. Where have I been? All kinds of action takes place in this book, including an underwater adventure in Atlantis itself, as well as being...

review 1: It was not up to the Nina Wilde/Eddie Chase archaeology based books. A lot of action, but a lot of dead time between fights and car chases. There is a car chase thru Washington, DC that rivals a NASCAR "green/white/checkered flag" finish. The theme is the initial development of...

review 1: So I just finished this book after having to restart it due to time constraints earlier this year forcing me to stop reading it., and like most of the Nina Wilde/Eddie Chase novels I have absolutely loved it. I mean, it has action, adventure, weapons, fast cars, and, most especia...

review 1: I have actually been wanting to read this installment in the Nina Wilde/Eddie Chase series since my first taste of the series back when The Cult of Osiris, or Pyramid of Doom as the copy was called in the US, came out in stores. Since Nina is basically considered a quack in her l...

review 1: Having not read any of Wilde/Chase books for a year or so, I was looking forward to it filling my plane flight home with something new. Typical book of the series however, with, for me at least, not enough time spent in the ancient ruins/temples exploring and the like. Still wort...

review 1: I took up this book because of the oh-so promising name and what not.It's not a bad book. Honestly it's a god truthful representation of how real relationships might work, not all hunky dory but with fire and brimstone and all the other cliches.But as for the real Tomb part, I wa...

review 1: I was drawn to this book by the title as any story involving the legend of King Arthur has always interested me. I also enjoy Indiana Jones/Lara Croft-type archaeology adventures and frequently watch action movies.However, about 250 odd pages into this story, I found myself skimm...

review 1: Okay, their back. Eddie and Nina’s relationship is back on track. And I love it. There’s a little sniping, but that’s normal in a relationship. Not having so many of Eddie’s female ‘friends’ around helps also. This adventure is as exciting as the first ones were. Now that...

review 1: And it all starts to come together. The plots and schemes from the previous books may have seemed isolated, but in this book they start to intertwine and become one. As to this story, oppression is oppression no matter how you nicely you package it. And killing even a small % of ...

review 1: 3.5/ Considering that i have read only The Hunt of Atlantis and the Tomb of Hercules before this, one can say that this is Andy McDermott's best work among the three. The ever so lithe and sparkling chemistry of this Wilde Chase is interesting as they step into a married life, al...

review 1: The second in a non-stop archeology adventure. This time Nina is after the Tomb of Hercules. It starts out sort of awkwardly, as it transitions from the previous book where all the Atlantis sites were destroyed. There’s lot of good chase scenes in this book, but so many major thi...

review 1: I read this out of sequence in the series but never the less it was still very good.Again, a good mixture of action and adventure with Egyptology thrown in and evil cults. Some of the characters appear to be super human in their ability to take damage, but hey, we need super hero...

review 1: There's a danger of repetition and formula creeping into Andy McDermott's fifth Wilde/Chase novel, though that might seem a silly comment - surely every one of his books has added up to the same concoction? Well yes I suppose they have, but The Cult of Osiris - while as bags of f...
