The usual characters--Pitt, the Admiral, Pitt's gal pal Congressman, and sidekick Al. It is a good adventure story backed up by archaeological research into the Inca civilization. The audio was somewhat distracting at times, switching voices in mid-sentence--it's almost like they patched over some rough spots in the original narration. Fun read without much concentration required.

Alas, it is also the last book of his I read. Life just got crazy and I often had a hard time finding his books. You have to remember that back in the mid to late 90's, very few people had the internet much less a kindle. When you think about it, it makes it amazing that we can purchase a book and download it and read it all from a computer. You don't have to make special trips to a bookstore or wait for your local library to purchase a book. It really is magical. And for me, this book was also magical. The intrigue was top notch. I loved all the characters. The mystery and suspense was amazing for me. This is also the 1st book my husband and I actually read together. So, a lot to love about this one. Man these are getting long. 20 hours on the audiobook. Even at 2.5x, that's a while. It probably doesn't help that every. single. time. a measurement is mentioned, it has to be converted. Is that the same in the print version? Because it's maddening... Pitt's heart pumped a good five liters (a gallon) of adrenaline through his system, but he remained calm and clinically surveyed the towering figure that looked like a monstrosity out of a science fiction horror movie. On the other hand, there are so very many quotes from these books that make them a joy to read: The inside of her one-piece black Lycra swim suit was nicely filled by an hourglass figure with an extra twenty minutes thrown in for good measure, and when she moved it was with the fluid grace of a Balinese dancer. no reviews | add a review
