Series: Nina Wilde & Eddie Chase
by Author Andy McDermott
Temple Of The Gods (2012)
Andy McDermott is definitely an excellent writer and this is another exciting book in the series. The only thing I didn't like is how every single place the main characters travel to, they encounter people trying to kill them, yet its always a surprise to them. You'd think after the millionth t...
Return To Atlantis (2012)
Talk about cliff hangers!!!! This book is practically non-stop cliff hangers where Nina and Eddie Chase manage to escape from one impossible situation to another. Somewhere in the book one of the characters describes their story as "a combination of Indiana Jones and James Bond." I can't think m...
Pyramid of Doom (2014)
Good continuation book for a decent mystery-adventure series. While not on par with Cussler or James Patterson, McDermott is an enjoyable author to read. The characters are while defined and developed if a bit over the top, but isn't everybody's adventure characters now a days. I have read the en...
The Pyramid Of Doom (2010)
Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase are back - and their adventures are more dangerous than ever!Beneath the Great Sphinx of Egypt lies the Hall of Records, a repository of ancient knowledge long thought to be legend. But on the eve of its opening, archaeology student Macy Sharif discovers a religious cul...
Het geheim van Excalibur (2008)
Rating 3.5.A good action packed movie, oops its novel not movie. It was my first McDermott novel and I enjoyed reading it. Though, the sword was found midway through the novel and after that it is about recovering it which may be a downside but its a action thriller not historical mythology. Too ...
Legenda Makam Hercules - The Tomb of Hercules (2008)
As much as I liked the first book in this series (The hunt for Atlantis), this book was just not what I expected. I liked the combination archaeology / adventure. And in this book was nearly nothing about that combination - only adventure - and there are really better adventure writers than Mr. M...
The Cult Of Osiris (2009)
Technically I read the American paperback version called, "The Pyramid of Doom", but lets assume the content is the same.This book was exactly what you'd expect it to be: a not-particularly deep, entertaining read. The tone is what really gives this book legs, in my opinion, in that it never take...
Empire Of Gold (2011)
This was one of the better ones of the series. I enjoyed the differing events in this book and the tensions that will be explored in the next book. I especially enjoyed the last parts of the book and the convergence from the usual formula of the previous novels; actual twists - nice touch. I'm st...
The Sacred Vault (2000)
Very enjoyable read, not his best, but I had so much fun reading this book. Nina and Eddie are becoming my favorite characters and I just wish they could meet up with Lara and Nathan Drake. How awesome would that be? But seriously this book was a lot of fun and the action was just pure craziness...
The Vault Of Shiva (2011)
I picked this one up wondering what new earthshaking ‘secret’ would Mr. Mc Dermott reveal about a religion and a culture that I have grown up with. The genre of historical fiction has never ceased to excite me since I read The Da Vinci Code. Delving into the past, unearthing artefacts and relics ...
The Secret Of Excalibur (2008)
Largely a story of two very different halves....the second half far less enjoyable and became a bit of a struggle to finish in the endIm a big fan of Clive Cussler and James Rollins and tried this one as McDermott is regularly mentioned in the same breath as several of the adventure titans, howev...
The Covenant Of Genesis (2009)
I really liked this novel. It's full of adventure and good times. The happenings that go on during it are all something from the movies but what do you expect? the author was a former movie critic. If you don't like action novels that come close to how a movie script would play out then i wouldn'...
The Tomb of Hercules (2008)
I actually read the first book of the series years ago but only got the time to continue the series just now. As usual I am fascinated by how I could picture the whole action in my head. Although I still like the first one better but I can't help to be awed by how awkward you would be in between ...
