Polar Quest was pretty good. This was my first book to read in the Rogue Angel series. Considering that it is #16, I wasn't lost. The idea of Annja being chosen by Joan of Arc's blade is a nice touch. Thus far, this series reminds me of "Witchblade" meets "Tomb Raider." Since I love both comic book series, that's fine with me.
Annja's likeable. She's pretty intelligent, and knows how to get herself out of a tight fix. She's not invulnerable, and gets hurt quite a bit in this story. I like that sh...more

More of a mystery than finding treasure..To me not alot of action compared to the other books in this series..It would have been more interesting if the artifacts would have been from aliens but instead it was all fake..to steal a nuclear generator..pretty boring..I feel bad for Annja she gets betrayed again..
I liked this one better than a lot of the others because it was more of a mystery, whodunit rather than trying to be the first to find some relic or treasure. She's getting clever with her sword. I couldn't stand listening to how cold it was there, though! Haha. Other than that, this one was good. Sorry to hear how it turned out, but there were some twists, and it wasn't bad.
I got this and The Soul Stealer from the library. I am never reading any of these books again. I no longer care for this character. I find her willfully stupid.
A little out there plot wise, but the accuracy of the location and lifestyle helped me have intelligent conversations with a friend working down there
It took me forever to finish Polar Quest, but that's because I started up school again and had no personal time whatsoever to read. I did finally get some me time, and i must say this one definitely caught me off guard. Every chapter had me guessing, and in the end I was sorely wrong. Very well written, Archer. Fantastic job.
