I wanted to share another of our latest 5-star reviews for Secret of the Sands:
(reposted from Amazon.com):
This book has "Summer Blockbuster" written all over it. Mr. Bruckheimer, are you paying attention?
Amittedly, it has all the elements I love--action, suspense, the metaphysical world, Egypt, archaeology.... Yes, it brings to mind my hero, Indiana Jones. This book is as close to Indy's equal as any novel or film will ever get.
The pacing is flawless, the characters well-defined, the history thoroughly researched. The authors have done their homework, and I can't wait for the seuqel.
A note to the reviewer who criticized the authors' grammar, etc.--bear in mind that this is not meant to be a textbook. It's entertainment. The best novelists learn the rules of good English, then break at least half of those rules. The objective is to tell an exciting story, not give an English lesson.
I would enthusiastically recommend this novel to anyone who wants a real page-turner!
