Enlisted by the Japan Buddhist Federation to catalog a number of ancient shrines dotted across Nepal, archaeologist Annja Creed is honored to help. Political violence has prompted the Federation to protect holy sites from desecration and vandalism, and Annja is their last hope to properly conserve these sites. Where there's vandalism, there's plundering, and local police soon become suspicious of Annja's presence. But she is more concerned about the antiques smugglers and Maoist guerrillas trying to kill her. When she must trek high up in the Himalayas to protect a sacred golden Buddha statue from falling into the hands of her pursuers, she's told that the place is cursed--and guarded by demons. And Annja has no choice but to face her demons.... No library descriptions found. |

When Annja is hired by the Japan Buddhist Federation to track down several shrines in Nepal, she attracts the attention of Maoist guerrillas. With the help of an attractive policeman, Annja tries to pass the Buddhist “tests” in order to find a sacred shrine before her pursuers.
This is another exciting installment in the Rogue Angel series. Though, the plot is light and characters shallow. There isn’t a lot of relevant history regarding actual archeology. And there’s little-to-no mention of actual relics or antiquities. But for pure action and adventure, Seeker's Curse was a nice mindless-romp through the Himalayas with a kick-butt heroine. Annja is a fantastic character. This series always makes it to the top of my reading pile. (
