Berkley Trade, 2004

Plenty of food onboard.

I am reading the Oregon files out of order, making it all the more fun for me. Here are some quick observations: The best of the bunch, hands down, is "Plague Ship"; in that novel, Juan Cabrillo's prosthetic limb is mentioned more than once, and yet there's no mention of it in "Sacred Stone"; there ...

Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants

+ A pretty good adventure novel

I am a 62 year-old kid who can't get enough of Indy (young or old, and whatever comes next). MacGregor's, Dance of the Giants is well written, with plenty of history,archeologial sites and adventure to suit me. That is, of course, if one can really have enough adventure. These little stories read ...

Another Shirt Ruined!

+ Fourth Book in the Series
+ Lion in the Valley

This is another great Amelia Peabody mystery with all the melodrama, adventure, and comedy you could wish. It follows one of the main story threads of the series as Amelia attempts to track down the Master Criminal!

Indiana Jones and the White Witch7 reviews
Martin Caidin

Bantam, 1994

Great book!

+ An Awesome book with a very good storyline

This book has lots of technical dialouge, but it's very interesting and easy to follow. It was my favorite book for a long, long time. The use of the legend of Arthur is compelling makes this book a genuine page-turner. Definitely read this book.

Wilbur Smith

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007

Simply the best

+ Histoy Made Interesting
+ Africa for the ArmchairTraveler

I read a lot and came across Wilbur Smith when my next door neighbor kept speaking of him. My ideas of African adventure were far removed from what Smith writes about. If you like DeMille, Flynn, Shaara, and the like you will love Smith. The back cover of his books says it the best. "Wilbur ...

Why a reissue??

+ The mummy case

I love this series, and this title is a lot of fun, not least because of Ramses. I recommend the whole series to anyone who likes lighthearted mysteries, even though the later ones, set in and around WWI, are darker in tone. But my question remains... why are they reprinting this in hardback? ...

Great Storyteller

Wilbur Smith has done it again with a great story of Egyptian adventure. I've enjoyed the whole series and although the Quest starts out a little slow it builds to a page turner. Wilbur Smith has a great writing style for fans of adventure novels and I have yet to be disappointed by any of his ...
  
  











  



  
The Queen of the Night (Ancient Rome Mysteries 4)2 reviews
Paul Doherty

Headline Book Publishing, 2006

A Very Enjoyable Read

+ Murder and mayhem in ancient Rome

Paul Doherty really is the master storyteller. It seem to matter not to Mr. Doherty whether the background to the book is Medieval England, Ancient Egypt, or in the case the eternal city of Rome in the 4th century AD. I don't think it could possibly be Ancient Rome without the murder and mayhem ...

Easy read and fun

This book is not what I would call a literary masterpiece, but I do have to give it extra points for being an easy read. It is fun, fast paced, and has the combination of occult and adventure that spells Indiana Jones. I recommended this to my wife and she is now reading the entire series as ...
