A wonderful, fast action story! Charles Brokaw keeps the reader on his toes. If you like thriller/action stories, I predict you'll find you just can't put this book down! I highly recommend it!

This is the first Brokaw book I read and found it disappointing. I gave it 3 stars, however, because I did manage to finish it. The plot is basic: Linguist professor searches for ancient artifact which he must translate in order to save the world. He is hunted by good guys and bad guys, and accompanied by two women who fight over him, one a colleague type and the other a tough gunslinger. Not much character development, and I really couldn't sympathize with the protagonist. His sexual life was not credible and seemed to be added in to spice up an otherwise ho hum book. I'll try one more, though, just to be fair.
One of the two BEST of this genre that I've read (about 15)! Action with believability, interesting history, and still has character development. In all a great book.
