Negative Positive
Title: complex but ultimately exciting
Review: Do not read this book unless you have read its predecessors in the series, else you will be submerged in a confusing avalanche of subplots and information. The story moves apace and pays homage to the mystique of Sir Francis Richard Burton, the English explorer of the last century. One is left with the sensation that our history has been much involved with warring alien factions, and that, perhaps, more historic anomalies shall be explained, the Knights Templar having been mentioned. The story is, however, compelling and one is carried along with the mystery. The great antiquity of the Sphinx is confirmed and the Arch of the Covenant found. The horrors of nanotechnology released on Easter Island. The sequel is going to have to deal with a lot of problems.
