The series is awesome. There's everything my soul ever wanted :) Ancient artifacts, UFOs, mysterious events, strange objects, danger, the world on the brink of annihilation - and lots of action! And inside all that, a small group of people who have no one to trust but themselves, people with high morals (of course :)) and incredible courage who (as it is in every popular thriller/sci-fi) are doing their best to save the day. Thumbs up! I love the change of locations - from the pyramids of Egypt to Qian Ling in China, from the forests of Amazonia to Antarctic, and then back to Area 51 in US or the vicinity of Easter Island. And there are plenty of historical facts woven inside the fictitious events and characters. A real treat!

Another "meh" book in the series. I'm finding it incredibly frustrating. It has all the elements I enjoy in a good book, but somehow it too just lacks a bit of lustre.

It isn't badly written, but the characters seem to fade in and out. As I have pointed out in reviews of previous books in the series, Sphinx was also besieged by poor flow of the story. Events seem to happen out of the blue and one is often surprised by events that seemingly weren't discussed earlier on.
