Work detailsExcavation by James Rollins
None. A great adventure story, full of action, thrills, mystery and suspense. But then that's to be expected from James Rollins! ( )I read a couple of these books by Rollins and on the third I read just a little and had to put it down. They are so much alike, predictable and lack imagination. Read one, you've read them all. An outstanding display of GARBAGE !!! This is the second book by him that I read (the first was The Judas Strain - a little bit better than this one). Thousands of Tarantulas, hoards of Monster Cave-Dwellers and add a lost Inca Tribe. Why waste your time on this author when they are some Good Authors out there ??? To me this read like a romance book written by Indiana Jones. The action was fun and quick, but I got sick of the romantic stuff fairly quickly. Which is odd, since I'm a woman and I'm pretty sure those parts where in their for my benefit. The story centers on some archaeologists, Incan ruins, and the Catholic Church, with a dash of alien/monster thrown in to keep things lively. The characters were interesting if a bit stereotypical, and it was an easy book to get swept up in. Excavation is about an archaeology team that gets trapped in a cave and face traps that they have to fight through. At the end of their journey, they stumble upon a mysterious treasure that hasn't been touched in hundreds of years. This novel is a science fiction thriller that is perfect for people who want to question the strange and think about wierd things that science can do. This is an excellent page-turner that keeps the reader on their toes and wanting more. This was ingeniously written and an excellent novel by James Rollins. no reviews | add a review
