Indiana Jones meets 80s B movie action hero with a touch of Robert Langdon.
This is a quick adventure novel with a lot of action set pieces which reads like a movie plot.
Utterly ridiculous that traps set millenia ago have live animals still in them and that people can escape a lava room by
putting their hand through lava
.
A quick silly read which can get you out of a reading slump but not much otherwise.
The interludes of ' A girl named Lily' were heart-warming but other than that there isn't much known about the characters.
