review 1: Amun Chamber – Non-stop actionAs other reviewers have pointed out, this reads like an “Indiana Jones” story. Although the comment is meant as a negative, I view this as one of the charms of the book. I liked it.There is non-stop action and a well-developed complex plot and story line. Many of the characters are stereotypical, but I don’t find that detracts from the exciting story.The writing may not be perfect, but I didn’t let that interfere with my enjoyment of the story itself. I was a bit distracted by the constantly changing point of view, having to adjust my thoughts each time the author moved to the mind of a different character. The side descriptions and background information was helpful at times, but often read like a page out of lonely planet.Anot... moreher minor beef I have is the regular reference to characters smoking – especially the heroes of the story. I don’t think that is necessary to enhance a story in the “no smoking” era.All-in-all a worthwhile story to read, but I can see where some might be put off with the story and its presentation.
review 2: The Amun Chamber was a fun treasure quest to read from a first-time author.The body of Alexander the Great disappeared 2000 years ago from the city of Alexandria, believed since then to be lost forever. An archeology professor and an heiress team up to track down some clues left by her grandfather before his long-ago murder. Death trails behind them through Greece and then Egypt on their way to a secluded valley as other searchers get rid of anyone else who may possibly provide future evidence. This story provides lots of action and adventure, with just a touch of romance as the leading characters' feelings for each other grow. less
