5.0 out of 5 stars Great Adventure, February 9, 2001

Jon G. Hargrove (Fullerton, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sheba (Mass Market Paperback)

This was an almost perfect adventure. To have been written almost forty years ago, it still stands up. Keep in mind this novel was written almost twenty years before Indiana Jones. Makes you think maybe ole Jack Higgins influenced the creators of the famous archaeologists....

3.0 out of 5 stars A "fair" Higgins book, but not on par with the best., September 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sheba (Mass Market Paperback)

Definitely a slow starter, and once the action begins, it's pretty tame anyhow. Perhaps my least favorite Higgins book, and that largely due to it's predictablity and similarity to Indy stuff...worth a read, I suppose.

By A Customer

This review is from: Sheba (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a great grabber. Don't start this book unless you have read all of the others. % star reading at it's best.
