Truth can be stranger than fiction.,
By "piffet" (California, USA, Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gold Fever (Hardcover)
This book is based on the real-world experiences of author Dr. Tom K. Stern. It is Dr. Sterns Phillipine adventure lived through the eyes of his fictional re-incarnation: Dr. Todd Ellison. The names may have been changed to protect the innocent. The more outlandish the scenario, the more likely it really happened just as it is written. It has been said that truth is stranger than fiction. Gold Fever is a thin read (296 pages), that is fat on details. It is a tall and engrossing tale. Lots of details about the jungle rebels, etc.Dr. Stern is just now releasing his latest book: Vatican Gold. I hope this leads to a trilogy. How about: Hollywood Gold? Gold Fever would make an excellent movie, and I imagine Vatican Gold will as well. I gave the book (Gold Fever) 4-stars because it was too short! I cannot wait for the Dr. Stern gold series to hit the big screen! Welcome to Hollywood, Dr. Ellison!

I loved it...,
By "leisa_" (Northfield, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gold Fever (Hardcover)
Once in awhile I find a book that comes to life on the pages before me. This is one of them. My heart raced as I traipsed through the jungle and hunted for treasure right along with the characters. The setting is simultaneously beautiful and dangerous. The love story captured my heart while the action packed drama fed my desire for justice. I read it in one sitting and didn't want it to end. Awesome novel.

A Great Story,
By R Worthington (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gold Fever (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed reading Gold Fever because the main character, a doctor, seems like a person one might meet in real life. The story takes him on an adventure filled with a cast of intriguing characters who come together on quest for a golden treasure. The search is a roller coaster ride filled with treachery and high drama. En route, the doctor is faced with ethical problems he needs to solve but the author also manages to include humor and romance to propel the journey forward.
