Secret of the Sands

review 1: Secret of the Sands is an interesting book running two parallel stories at the same time, yet taking place 12,000 years apart. It’s part Indian Jones, part mystery thriller. The first part of the story is about a team of modern day archeologists who discover an ancient artifact hidden beneath the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt. The second story is about an unknown civilization that predates the Egyptians.Both sets of stories are well written and interwoven in a cause an effect type setting. It also takes a well-known icon of the sphinx and puts a new twist to it which I found interesting.The characters are well rounded with good back stories and there are a couple of great twists with some unexpected deceit and betray.Secret of the Sands is good, easy and interesting read... more that is the first book in a series. It is well worth the time and the book was interesting enough for me to want to picking up the second book in the series.
review 2: Although I read a lot of good reviews on this book, and it won some kind of reward; I didn't feel that it deserved it. I was only pulled into the story to see how it would end and find out what the 'secret' was.I didn't feel that the writing was that good. There wasn't enough description of things going on. The writers seemed to expect the reader to know what Egypt looked like currently and in the past for this story. There wasn't enough character development for me as a reader. less
