This book was described as "if Indiana Jones lives in the X-Files," but it's really just a bad episode of Ancient Aliens

This was a lot of fun! An adventure book that I've seen compared to X-files and Indiana Jones, and I'd say that's pretty accurate. 

The first half was a bit slow, mostly building character backstories. However the second half was pretty exciting. I love the dynamic between Ken, Nolan, and Molly - by the end they are quite lovable. I'll eventually pick up the second installment.
