Book Reviews of Excavation

Book Review: Characters please - not cartoons
Summary: 2 Stars

Ever read a book that just screamed - "Make this into a movie that teen age boys will go see?" Heavy on action, quick paced plot and characters drawn with crayon... oh and the perfect hollywood action flick ending.

If anyone else has read the book... Maggie's seizures... dehabilitating and then they disappear, completely gone "poof".

Oh, and the bad guys? Well, nobody ever expects them ;-)
Not even a twinge of piety? - and the sadistic drooling torturer - geez! "Central casting... big guy, balding, big belly - leacherous looking would be good... just for one scene - oh, would be good if he was comfortable around pyrotechnics"

Save a few bucks - wait for the movie - or maybe just the DVD.

Summary of Excavation

High in the Andes, Dr. Henry Conklin discovers a 500-year-old mummy that should not be there. While deep in the South American jungle, Conklin's nephew, Sam, stumbles upon a remarkable site nestled between two towering peaks, a place hidden from human eyes for thousands of years.

Ingenious traps have been laid to ensnare the careless and unsuspecting, and wealth beyond imagining could be the reward for those with the courage to face the terrible unknown. But where the perilous journey inward ends—in the cold, shrouded heart of a breathtaking necropolis—something else is waiting for Sam Conklin and his exploratory party. A thing created by Man, yet not humanly possible. Something wondrous . . . something terrifying.


The South American Jungle Guards Many Secrets...

and a remarkable site nestled between two towering Andean peaks, hidden from human eyes for thousands years.

Dig Deeper...

through layers of rock and mystery, through centuries of dark, forgotten legends.

Into Ancient Catacombs...

where ingenious traps have been laid to ensnare the careless and unsuspecting; where earth-shattering discoveries -- and wealth beyond imagining -- could be the reward for those with the courage to face the terrible unknown.

Something is Waiting

here where the perilous journey ends, in the cold, shrouded heart of a breathtaking necropolis; something created by Man, yet not humanly possible. Something wondrous. Something terrifying.
