review 1: This was a fun archeology based story that took place in various areas around Greece. This takes place after WW II and involves British, American, Greek, and Soviet spies/military agents. The premise of the story is that various countries are searching for the shield of Achilles because it is thought to be made from a legendary medal that can be used to create a military weapon. There are lots of quotes from Homer that the archeologists use to try and determine where Achilles final resting place is. A fun read!
review 2: Somehow I expected this to be more exciting. On the front cover the Booklist quote said, "Fans of thriller with an Indiana Jones angle who just can't wait for the next James Rollins or Steve Berry novel should check out this very interesting t... moreale." It was probably setting me up to expect more than this book delivered. There were interesting aspects to it, but it seemed to get bogged down off and on. less
