Editorial Reviews

Review
"R. J. Archer's pulse-pounding plot... is based on a real island and stunning recent archeological findings." -- Richard Jones, feature writer for El Hispanic News, Portland, OR

"Tractrix offered a glimpse... of history ignored by contemporary scholars; Tsubute rips down the curtain and sets it on fire." -- Sean Ellis, author of Magic Mirror and The Clive Cussler Code

Product Description
In the maiden voyage of the team’s newly acquired Learjet, the NWIDI adventurers travel to southern Japan to investigate an underwater pyramid off the coast of Yonaguni. After a dramatic landing in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska and a run-in with Department of Justice agents in Tokyo, they finally reach Yonaguni and soon find themselves involved in a case of murder and international kidnapping. In an effort to solve the murder and clear their own names, they uncover a dark secret hidden on the tiny island for more than 10,000 years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Continues the adventure, November 25, 2006
Tsubute continues the adventures of the NWIDI team where Tractrix left off. Frank Morton and his collegues this time journey to Japan, with the initial intent to investigate a mysterious pyramid off the island of Yonaguni, the westernmost island of Japan.

As with his last novel, Archer interweaves facts with his fiction: in the late 1980's, divers found underwater archeological ruins similar to the pyramids of Egypt, Maya and other ancient civilizations, much older than previous indicators of ancient civilizations in this area. In Tsubute, the NWIDI team's investigation of this phenomena is mixed with an attack on one of their own, where they discover a tsubute, an ancient Japanese ninja weapon, that appears to have originated from the same island of Yonaguni.

Tsubute continues to follow the theories of Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods, etc.) but that is not the main theme of the story, as it was in Tractrix. These theories are integrated in with the action, investigation and subversive plot.

The book establishes more of the characters of the team members, and has quite a bit more action than the previous book. I thought it ended too soon though, with some loose ends not quite tied up (why was the fake PI spying on the team? what happened to Aya?)....and there is a nice setup for book three, where perhaps all will be answered.

Again, highly recommended for Clive Cussler fans, and all fans of Graham Hancock's theories.
