What are you hoping for from this book?

What is your favourite thing about the series?

I like Rollins writing style and I love the characters in the series. I hope he doesn't get carried away in scientific mumbo jumbo like he has in some of the other books:)

He does engage you from the first word and love the historical connections. A good group of characters too.

>2 Carol420: Yes he does sometimes get caught up in his science.

Heโ€™s definitely a better writer than Steve Berry but science is not one of my favorite subject.

>5 EadieB: I love some sciences. My degree is in conservation education and elementary education. So biology, archaeology, forensic sciences fascinates me... but atoms and neurons just muddle my brain.

>6 Carol420: I donโ€™t mind the forensic or archaeology science either. So I pretty much agree with you.

A ripping yarn will satisfy me. I think this series stands on its good plots and it's cracking characters.

>8 Andrew-theQM: I'll put that in the categories that muddle my brain...but it sounds interesting. A mad scientist could do a great deal damage with those little guys:)

I always look forward to a gripping historical action adventure story.

Usually I don't like too much science but a few years ago I read an article about nanotechnology and have tried to keep updated.

>8 Andrew-theQM: I thought you were talking about Robin Williams' show Mork and Mindy where he would say "Nano Nano." I guess I don't know anything about Nanotechnology.
