Loading... The Third Gateby Lincoln Child
   Books Read in 2015 (2,021) No current Talk conversations about this book.   BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |  My first book by this author, it engaded my interest quickly. Paced well, it's characters were fascinating as was the premise. Momentum builds as the team makes their way through the three chambers of the tomb. And with each, fascinating discovery is made. The subplot is a bit contrived however and as it's theme is revealed, the ending becomes predictable which in my opinion, ruins the momentum. Regardless, it's well written and engaging. (  ) Jonathan5 | Feb 20, 2023 | But the setting......! (  ) AQsReviews | Jul 11, 2022 | ) skipstern | Jul 11, 2021 | Written by a skilled professional thriller writer, the story hums along in a Da Vinci Code/Indiana Jones sort of way. It was a good light read. Light on the history. Light on the tension. Light on the depth of characterization. Even the chapters are only a few pages long to keep you moving along briskly. Somewhere around 3.5 stars which places it in the region between meh and good. I will probably try a few more of Child's solo efforts as I expect them to be about this level.

HTML:Under the direction of famed explorer Porter Stone, an archaeological team is secretly attempting to locate the tomb of an ancient pharaoh who was unlike any other in history. Stone believes he has found the burial chamber of King Narmer, the near mythical god- king who united upper and lower Egypt in 3200 B.C., and the archaeologist has reason to believe that the greatest prize of all??Narmer??s crown??might be buried with him. No crown of an Egyptian king has ever been discovered, and Narmer??s is the elusive ??double? crown of the two Egypts, supposedly possessed of awesome powers. The dig itself is located in one of the most forbidding places on earth??the Sudd, a nearly impassable swamp in northern Sudan. Amid the nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation, a series of harrowing and inexplicable occurrences are causing people on the expedition to fear a centuries- old curse. With a monumental discovery in reach, Professor Jeremy Logan is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds will raise new questions . . . and alarm. In the hands of master storyteller Lincoln Child, The Third Gate breaks new ground and introduces a fascinating new protago No library descriptions found. |
