Previously.

Well this was only fun for a little while. I shoulda seen it coming.

He had two Hot Ladies on the team of good guys.  He was gonna feel the need to have them not get along (because character realism isn’t the point here, tension and release is). That particular subplot was not very believably written but merely annoying since the action rocked right along…. Until he decided they should really have it out.

Well when he did he blew it.

In storytelling and invention, an argument decided upon rather than arrived at is a real ball-dropper and basically since it got dropped, so has this book.   I’d like to get back into it cuz it was really quite fun for a while there.  Lots of great historical information and the dude can really write action.  I’ve tried twice but the spell has been broken.  I think.

Airplane reading again.

This is a standard “ancient mystery threatens world domination” plot.    The cover sports a lot of “Da Vinci Code” references.  Oh gee is that cuz of maybe the name?

Well anyway, Dan Brown is a sappy clod when it comes to women characters.  And now that I think about, pretty much all characters in general, whereas this guy like to put a SIG Sauer 9mm semiautomatic blah blah in each of her hands.  Personally, I prefer that kinda thing in my actiontrash women.

The main character is a linguist so the ancient mystery requires a full fuxton of interesting factoids about the history of language and culture.  I like that kinda thing too.

If you read this kinda thing I highly recommend this one.

I picked it up in a Mobile Alabama grocery store so probably it can be found anywhere.
