Title: Better than Valhalla Rising (but that's not saying much)
Review: OK, a bunch of disconnected "historical" factoids which are never really tied together coupled with a mystery scheme to get rich. Throw in the usual cast of characters and predictable events and you end up with a mess.The good news (for fans of Loren), is that her Dad who was killed off 3 years before Vixen 03 (a very good book, BTW) has had a miraculous recovery from his death. I guess Vixen 03 was a "dream" (aka Bobby Ewing) - like the dream that we all have that Cussler could still put together a good read. Clive - TV programs use people called "continuity checkers" - you might want to investigate that! I also found the obligatory CC appearance at the end to be even more contrived than usual.
Is the review positive or negative?
