Book Review: Return to Atlantis by Andy McDermott

Return to Atlantis by Andy McDermott is the eighth
thriller in the archeologist Nina Wilde and her husband, ex-SAS
bodyguard Eddie Chase series (available August 28, 2012).

 



Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase have stunned the world with their
discoveries, from the legendary sword Excalibur to the golden city of El
Dorado. Now, by bringing together three ancient statues from three
different continents, Nina is about to tap into a colossal energy
source—one not felt since the days of Atlantis.



But when the statues are stolen and Eddie is falsely accused of
murder, forcing him to go on the run to hunt the man responsible, a
violent struggle erupts among a secret, vastly powerful group that wants
to control Nina and the earth energy. From a glittering, high-tech
skyscraper in Japan to a harrowing chase beneath the Vatican and an
underground military vault in Nevada, Nina and Eddie must piece together
an astounding puzzle. For Nina Wilde is the key to a plot that will
change the world forever. And Eddie is the key to keeping her alive.





This is what I mean when I talk about action: superb storytelling;
breathtaking aerial, mountain, and underwater battles; fabulous
villains; and stubborn as hell heroes. What a mix!



Andy McDermott is a new discovery for me and in my opinion he is (readers’ alert) a new and improved version of Wilbur Smith,
as he manages to include so many action sequences, so many twists and
turns, and so much traveling in just one novel, that his mastery seems
simply unsurpassed.
