Yes, the book starts with a bang and ends with a thud.
Just when it feels like the story should be racing into the third act, it sprains an ankle and limps into another puzzle scene, followed by a string of betrayals, leading up to a couple of major reveals that absolutely anyone over the age of 2 could see coming. For hundreds of pages the story moves forward at a breakneck pace.Īnd then it hits a brick wall. There’s suspense, there’s science, there’s something resembling history (sorry James, but Elaine Pagels is not what anyone would call a reliable source). The fun is in full force here, at least for the first 2/3 of the book. Kind of Indiana Jones, kind of Da Vinci Code - It’s like a series of Clive Cussler novels if Cussler had the ability to write readable dialogue.
And I suppose the whole thing is a bit on the cheesy side. The Sigma Force series has a stupid name.
