Kurzbeschreibung
Another brilliant Wilde/Chase thriller from one of the best in the business - Andy McDermott. Archaeologist Nina Wilde's life has fallen apart. Her husband, ex-SAS soldier Eddie Chase is on the run, falsely accused of murder, and her only distraction has been investigating the origin of three strange statues stolen from her just before Eddie's disappearance. When Nina discovers they may be relics from the lost civilisation of Atlantis, it's clear that she has to get her head back in the game, and fast. Eddie, meanwhile, tries to stay ahead of the authorities as he hunts the man responsible for his fugitive status across the globe. A mysterious benefactor offers the information he needs - but the price will put him in direct conflict with his wife. When Nina learns that a Japanese industrialist has obtained the statues on the black market she immediately heads to Tokyo meet him, unaware that Eddie is already on his way. Their arrival unleashes a chain of events that could have devastating consequences for the world, setting Nina and Eddie on their most dangerous quest ever - with the future of humanity itself at stake...

Perhaps time for Nina and Eddie to take a break?
16. März 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
OK, this gets 4 stars because it's not as good as the previous novel. Having been castigated for giving spoilers in my review of that - which makes it a trifle hard to review given this is mind-fluff prose and you can't really comment on a high technical skill in writing these kinds of novels - then suffice it to say the cliff hangers of the last novel are resolved swiftly in this one.
By the end of the novel we are throughly sated with car chases, helicopter gunships - the scene in Japan at the top of the highrise made me, curiously, think of the film Entrapment - Eddie's cheesy one-liners and bouncebackability, a submarine return to Atlantis, a trip to the cradle of Africa - reminded me of the plot of Tomb Raider II -, a meteor and the usual high octane action.
I've got to say, McDermott is in danger of veering towards competing with Matthew Reilly and doesn't need to. There are plot parallels with Reilly's Five-Six-Seven trilogy and Eddie is becoming a trifle boorish despite the author's attempts to have a reconciliation with his Dad. There's a faint whiff of implausibility creeping in - perhaps odd to say given the nature of this book - but you've either got to be hugely over-the-top like Reilly, or more plausible like Steve Berry. I guess it comes down to the fact I like Scarecrow and Cotton Malone more as characters. Eddie Chase just doesn't quite have as much depth to his character.
Still, Andy's made a career here but with so many loose ends and characters tied off at the end of this his next project will be interesting. I suspect something different or new may come from his pen and that'll be good to see.

I really enjoyed this book. It was the first book I read from Andy McDermott and it was like a rollercoaster ride. If you like books by Matthew Reilly or Clive Cussler you will love this book.
