Another riveting read from David Leadbeater!
This is the second book in the Relic Hunters series and finds Guy Brodie and his team of relic hunters still working with the CIA, this time on the trail of Atlantis itself. Two sets of statues from are found in archaeological digs on different continents, however the sets are identical and date back to a time when this should not have been possible. Brodie and his team, with the help of an uptight historian, soon decipher the messages left on the statues and find themselves following the clues around the world. Things aren't that easy though, there are several other interested parties intent not only on finding Atlantis for themselves, but destroying everyone that gets in their way.
I found this book to be a rollicking adventure as we follow our intrepid heroes around the world, through thick and thin. I read through it very quickly, as I couldn't wait to solve the clues! Plus the easy camaraderie of the team always brings a smile. A great, fun read, recommended for all lovers of adventure novels.
My thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is the second in a series of books about Guy Brodie and his team of relic thieves who work for the CIA.
Ancient statues have been discovered in South America hinting at the existence of Atlantis. The CIA agent Heidi Moneymaker instructs Brodie and his team to follow the clues. Also interested in Atlantis are the Chinese and the Bratva.
The characters are developing in this book and its a fun, fast moving read. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
Another action packed entry in The Relic Hunter's series.. Great story, good character development and plenty of action in this fast-paced paced thriller.
This the second book in the series sees the team chasing clues left on statues found in South America. Not having read the previous book in the series, I had no preconceived notions about the characters but found that the story was written well enough so that it did not deter from the story. An enjoyable romp through history and across the globe, there was sufficient description of places and people to keep the reader engaged without overwhelming, allowing the plot to progress at a good pace. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable read.
I received an advanced copy of this book which I choose to leave a review for.
Thankyou to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing UK and David Leadbeater for the opportunity to read this book.
This is the second book in the Relic Hunters series. I really enjoyed it. It was fast paced and easy to read.
The plot grabs your interest. Definitely well worth a read if you like your adventure stories to be action packed
2nd book of his I’ve read. Really enjoyed both. Fast paced and easy to read. Highly recommend reading all his books.
Second outing for the Relic Hunters, see's them on the hunt for Atlantis. This is a good book, that continues to grow the characters as they scramble around trying to stay ahead of the Chinese and the Bratva. The main characters are starting to bed in now, as the team dynamic settles.
I enjoyed this as much as the first book in the series. It's fast paced and lots of adventure, and danger. The beginning is a bit slow but when you get past that, boom it's non-stop action.
Five statues in darkest South America are exact matches to 4 statues which were found in the Azores. Separated by 4000 miles, how on earth can they be connected? With the Russian Mafia after them, former allies colluding against them and a shaky contract with the CIA, Bodie and the gang are truly up against it!
Atlantis has been a myth which lured many into treacherous waters but will the team make it out alive?
Heidi continues to struggle with the balance between CIA operative and mum. Bodie feels abandoned by his father figure/mentor and for some reason the Russian Bratva are lusting for his death. But this time the team are not untouched by tragedy, and it really tugged at the heartstrings. There is also a new "intern" on the team who, in my head, is like a female Sheldon from Big Bang Theory!
They are again traipsing all over the globe on the hunt for clues. This did have a tighter story than the original book and there are fewer constant reminders to the reader of each team members talents. I did feel the ending was a bit rushed and there are many open threads that need dealt. I'd continue with this series.
3.75 stars really!
Thankfully this second book in the series was a lot better than the first one. But there's just something missing for me like there's a point I'm not quite getting. Storyline was good but I just felt as though it needed tightening up a little bit. Felt a little slapdash for me.
Fdast paced and enjoyable. Loved the Relic Hunters so this book didn't disappoint. Looking forward to the next in the series. Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the ARC.
