Dourado
David Wood
Gryphonwood Press, 2007
An excellent read!
+ A gripping adventure that leaves you wanting more!
This is fast paced and is an "I simply cannot put this book down until I know what is going on" kind of book. I kept thinking, okay next chapter I will take a break and get busy, then come back to it later this evening; but as one chapter ended I had to go to the next. It is an excellent read and ...

The Hunt for Atlantis
Andy McDermott
Headline Book Publishing, 2007
A great adventure seeking the Lost Continent of Atlantis!
+ Great read...but a few comments
+ A Rip Snortin' Good Time!!!!!
I am one of those folks that love to read all things Atlantis - the story of the Lost Continent has always fascinated me. Andy McDermott's book, The Hunt For Atlantis, takes that quest to a level that Indiana Jones would have trouble holding on to his fedora keeping up!
Archeaologist Nina Wilde is ...

Excavation
James Rollins
Harper, 2000
Just READ IT!
+ Some Faults, But Brilliant Nonetheless
+ Couldn't put it down!
Everyone has their own opinions, and this is mine. Excavation is one of the most unique, interesting, and thrilling books I've ever read. And I've read thousands of books through my life. Does that age me? lol
James Rollins has the gift of making an unrealistic plot seem totally real. A very ...

Deep Fathom

Deep Fathom

Secret of the Sands
Rai Aren
RFS Publications, 2007
Excellent first book!!!
+ successfully woven story
+ Nice! Fast-Paced, I love that!
I love this book. I can't wait to read the sequel. It may be difficult for some people to read. It is like reading two books at the same time. But both stories are really good. Excellent book.
The one thing that I did notice alot was there is alot of typing errors (?). Alot of spots in the book ...

A Thunderous Epic!!
+ Time travel AND Dinosaurs?? Talk about Formulaic FUN...
+ Thunderously Pleasing Adventure Read!!
Man, have I been waiting a long time for this sequel.
And boy, was it worth it!!
James F. David's long anticipated sequel is fantastic in a myriad of ways. Even if you have never read Footprints of Thunder, this novel stands alone. It is better to read the first, but not necessary. This ...

Valhalla Rising (Dirk Pitt Adventures)
Clive Cussler
Putnam Adult, 2001
Cussler is a gentleman.
+ Standard Dirk Pitt
+ One of my favorites, by a favorite author
I have read every Clive Cussler book. (I feel we're on a first-name basis!) Whether he's written it alone or with another author, they are always entertaining and of the can't-put-down-til-I-find-out-what-happens variety. My biggest praise is that he writes as someone from today, with a heart for ...

Atlantis
David Gibbins
Dell, 2006
Novels of Adventure and Archaeology
+ impressive fun read
David Gibbins' two novels reflect an unusual ability to craft a novel around unfamiliar facts in archaeology and history. He does the serious reader a service by distinguishing in his Author's Note historical fact from literary invention. As an amateur historian, I appreciate this specificity.

Raising Atlantis
Thomas Greanias
Pocket, 2006
What a story!
I purchased this book, as I am a big fan of thrillers that probe the deeper mysteries of life & history - both recorded and pre-written records. I love exploring the possibilities of ancient cultures that may have been highly advanced, where clues are laid, and a path set out for us to follow. ...

The Descent
Jeff Long
Jove, 2001
Awesome
+ Fantasic horror/sci-fi with a bit more than you expect
+ Dark, scary, powerful adventure
One of the best books I have read in years. Its an amazing combination of horror and adventure themes-sort of like mixing Edgar Rice Burroughs with Edward Lee. Its been a long time since i've been so thoroughly immersed in a novel. The obligatory liberal themes are there: Fascist corporations, ...

Atlantis Found (Dirk Pitt Novel)
Clive Cussler
Putnam Adult, 1999
Another great book from Cussler
I think for me, one of the allures of the Dirk Pitt series is the nomadic nature of the characters. We start in this book in Colorado and end up someplace quite cold. In between we visit a board room or two and an airplane hangar except there are no planes here. There is a core group that does ...
