How can you not love this book? If you like Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, or pretty much any action packed movie, you'll love this book. Draws you in like a computer game and keeps the action and interesting "history" going throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed! Currently reading book 2: The Six Sacred Stones which is just as good if not better. Love Matthew Reilly!

Juvenile at best. Forced myself to read 70 pages and finally had to admit it was just garbage and was not going to get any better. My first and last Matthew Reilly novel.

Lots of action that makes you want to keep turning the pages. Good, entertaining read with some ancient history thrown in.
