4.0 out of 5 stars Archaeological Thriller, 21 May 2008
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

Paul Christopher is a pseudonym of Christopher Hyde, wbo has had a varied career working as a researcher, editor, TV interviewer specialising in stories on technology, intelligence and the enviroment. He has written a number of books under the name of Hyde. He is a new author to me whether he be writing under the name of Christopher or Hyde.

This book could be classed under many different titles, adventure story, thriller and archaeological mystery. It has a little bit of everything and although the format is similar to many other books on the market qt the moment it is none the worse for that. I can think of several books that follow a very similar storyline, but this one is as well written as any of them and I found it both interesting and exciting.

The plot of the book revolves around an archaeological dig in Egypt. Finn Ryan is on the way to participate in the dig. She is to be the cartographer and illustrator for the team of archaeologists. On the plane she happens to meets Hilts, a pilot and photographer who is also heading for the site. Over dinner he gives Finn some background information about the expedition. Part of the detail is that the last team to occupy the site was an Italian team. They were looking for the tomb of a monk believed to be the Apostle Thomas. The expedition disappeared in a sandstorm and nothing was ever heard of them again . . .

I personally enjoyed the book, particularly as I have a long standing interest in archaeology in general and Egypt in particular, but for some reader's the storyline (race against time to find a hidden relic and save the world from the bad boy's) is a much used one, particularly recently and may be wearing a bit thin by now. On the plus side the book is action packed and grabs the attention from virtually the first page. The author manages in the main to keep the story believable and does not stray too much into the realms of fantasy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money - just about!, 9 Jan 2008
By Michael Bolan "melesmeles" (Moscow) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm glad I was on holiday when I read this. It has elements of a decent thriller, and when the author gets down to it, he can write, but there's still a huge amount of work to be done.

The characters are believable up to a point, although their interaction strains at the bounds of credulity. The storyline is acceptable, although several of the elements are covered more convincingly in other works.

The main issue with the book is the continuity of the action, or rather, lack of it. The narrative seems episodic, with substantial challenges simply ignored in the ether between the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next.

I will most likely read more of the author's work, but not if I'm looking for something other than pulp fiction.
