The Tombs

Cussler and seasoned mystery novelist Perry (The Boyfriend; Poison Flower) are a potent combination and bring high energy to this suspenseful chapter in the lives of Sam and Remi. Longtime Cussler reader Scott Brick is practiced at giving his narration the perfect amount of humor and drama. Cussler's books, even in an age of gratuitous murder, sex, and violence in fiction, remain "gentlemanly" works in which plot is paramount and the characters skillfully drawn. Readers will be fascinated by the life of Attila the Hun while enjoying nonstop action on the part of Cussler's dynamic duo. Highly recommended. ["Cussler delivers another adventure of nonstop, nerve-wracking suspense," read the review of the Putnam hc, LJ Xpress Reviews, 9/14/12.—Ed.]
