Finished the latest book in the Eddie Chase and Nina Wilde series. Promised so much and yet felt the book was overly long with fillers. I have read all Andy's books and have loved them all so very much. Maybe for the next novel Eddie's father could get together with Nina, after all they would have so much in common (neither listen). I would have thought after all their adventures and years together that Nina would have understood Eddie and his actions. The ending was some what, how can I put it

Oops! I read this between Graham Brown books (Black Rain/Sun), and got my mind all fuzzed with different Mayan Doomsday prophecies. Did the same thing a few years ago by reading 3 different Atlantean myth stories in too small a timeline.
Anyway ... sure, sure ... the story is great. But if you have been enjoying the main characters in these (8 so far?) books, this one is a fantastic read. I looooove where this book leaves off.

A blockbuster thriller for sure. nonstop action in which one must accept the premise that the main protagonist is just one short step away from being superman. The number of difficult situations that he gets himself in and manages to escape with only minor (I assume they are minor since he;s up and running off to his next encounter quite quickly) injuries is amazing. The story is Eddie Chase and his archeologist wife are hot on the trail of discovering the location of El Dorado, the city of gold

I have read all the books about Ninas and Eddies adventures throughout the world. I have enjoyed them all, some more and some less. Empire of gold is an enjoyable read with all the usual action, adventure and banter. Why change a winning formula? But the book could have used some editing (I am looking at you armoured car sequence in the middle) and the story isnt up to its usual standard. But the ending is very good and almost makes up for the books shortcomings. As usual if you didnt like McDer

Oh My Gosh! A two parter and I have to wait till next year to find out what happens. This book was great. Couldn't put it down. I was alittle put off that Nina was having hard time believing Eddie's side of the story but that is what makes this book great. It was a non-stop adventure from the beginning and was very emotional towards the end. I have read every one of theses books and I have to say this was one of the best. Can't wait for the next.

This is my least favorite book of the series so far. In my opinion, El Dorado was found too quickly and there was too much time spent on the attempted coup. I realize that is was part of the journey to El Dorado but I prefer to have more archeology/history. I would have also liked to know more about the statues but I guess that will have to wait until the next one.

I read about half of this book. Too many ridiculous things were happening and I couldn't do it anymore. The main character is some kind of magical super hero who can do no wrong. At one point, I was reading portions aloud to my sister and we laughed together about the book's ridiculousness.

Fancy action, across the map. Obviously written for movie treatment. interesting Character developement.

Rip-roaring adventure.
bit hard to believe. but great action.

Fantastic, heart pumping action, characters great, you can just imagine them in your head as you are reading, Eddie is just a lovable teddy bear (sometimes) storyline well paced, what a twist at the end, amazing who comes to his defence. Now just have to wait for the next book to see how it all unfolds.

Oh this was another fantasic book by Andy McDermott. He sure knows how to deliver non-stop action. I have read all the books in this series, and this one ranks just as highly as the others! Can't wait for the next one!

Damn, racy but not the kind of climax one expects in Nina Wilde & Eddie Chase's stories! But have to agree with Chase, his dad is a fuckin' arse, someone who should be shot!!

Another great adventure by Andy McDermott. After reading several of his books I really enjoy his charactors and can't wait to see what Nina and Eddie will get themselves into next.
This is a fast paced, action packed adventure story from beginning to end. I highly recommend this book and all the books by Andy McDermott.

Another great adventure for Andy McDermott. The only thing I hated was the cliff hanger ending and having to wait several months for the next book to be out. So many twists and turns I never saw coming.

Exciting new entry in the Wilde/Chase series. Lots of action and excitement and, of course, wild chases. I can hardly wait for the next book. Summer 2012 is a long way off!

I've really enjoyed this fast paced series up til now. This one was okay but didn't hold my attention the way the other books have. Rather disappointing.

Last opus in the series. Nice but not spectacular, mainly because it becomes kind of predictable...
