rating:
Ploddingly written and unrealistic even by thriller standards. What I mean to say is that one doesn't especially expect a thriller to mirror life in any significant way, but there are standards that when followed make for fun with a certain amount of integrity.
The motivating concept behind this mess is that the famed (almost mythical) library of ancient Alexandria, assumed to have been destroyed centuries before, still exists, protected and in hiding.
So far so good, but wooden characters and implausible action and events led me quickly to the end of my tether, where I stayed until the merciful end.
Obviously many people enjoy this author and his stories; I'm not one of them.
