I always love a good treasure hunting adventure story, and sometimes it's fun to step away from huge epic fantasy novels and read something a bit simpler. Simple doesn't mean bad! This was basically a fun popcorn flick in book form, and a good time to read.
I've never read Clive Cussler before, despite his huge popularity. I have seen the movie "Sahara" based upon his book, because, well, Matthew McConaughey, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book is like that movie -- but with different characters.
Fun, mindless, entertainment. If you want a high-brow story-line, this isn't it. If you want some summer fluff read, and don't mind some loose interpretations of history, than you might like this. I look forward to reading the next in the series.

I needed some escapist adventure, and Cussler and Blackwood provided it in spades.
Classic adventure novel with some wonderful historical bits. Super entertaining overall!

This book just went on and on and on and on with minimal action. I'm not particularly fond of National Treasure, and this ranks worse than that.
It's not my favorite. It felt like I was reading an action movie and a lot of it felt cheesy. The characters felt weirdly positive and confident with every situation. Probably not the author for me. Book was just okay.
I don't do to many audio books, but this was an exciting adventure to listen to and especially more enticing to go to rather than the news cycle. I imagine I'll have to check out more by Clive Cussler.
This app should really accept half star ratings. This was better than a 3 but not a 4...
Ya gotta love Clive Cussler. Always an adventurous novel with just enough historical function to make you believe it’s real.
