This seemed to go off Archer's usual track. Instead of heading out on her own archeological adventure, Annja's doing a "job" for Roux to replenish the pot. Annja's previous experiences have been investigations for History's Monsters or her own scholarly excavations.
We do have the opportunity of meeting the Elephant Child...who, amazingly enough, doesn't die. Annja has agreed to purloin an artifact for a private party---an action she has always despised and EC is after the sa...more

Annja Creed is a Raider of Tombs with a heart of gold - and, luckily, the Blade of that Witch, Joan of Arc, that she can mystically call upon to help her save the relics of history from the clutches of unscrupulous archaeologists.
This was a fun book to read. There's not really necessarily anything new or intriguing here (the opening sequence, especially, seemed to be lifted almost entirely from Raiders of the Lost Ark), but it was a lot of fun to read in a trashy, pulpy kind of wa...more

The book start off in typical Annja Creed sword weilding fashion but archeology quickly dissolves into adventure and the body county rises much higher than in other Rogue Angel novels. Also, the novelty of th sword isn't well played throughout this book. It's still a nice diversion read but this series has so much potential and the books don't seem to be reaching that.
I don't know, but Annja doesn't seem to be capable of making good decisions. And she's not very intuitive. Maybe it's to push the story along, but don't sacrifice the main characters brains for it. Maybe there are different ghost writers writing this series. If that is the case, some of them are clearly better than others.
Not one of my favorites in this series. Just about everyone dies.. and I bet her arch enemy will never show up again. Her cop friend keeps showing up, albeit not very often, and never for something good. Other than that, it's Roux, Garin, and Annja in some mess that has nothing to do with them originally. Boo.
By far one of my favorites
One of the better ones.
It starts off okay but soon this book goes downhill. Another disappointing one in this series :(
