Sandstorm by James Rollins

Twenty years after a wealthy British financier disappears near the site of a lost fabled city, the man's daughter leads an expedition of scientists in search of the city, which harbors a powerful but dangerous energy source.

3.5 stars. This was a long, long read. I also listened to the audiobook, and boy it's looong. I guess I no longer have the patience for novels this long, but it's a rip-roaring, Indiana-Jone-esque/X-Files adventure. Great to while the time away.

Hmmmmm........Sandstorm not bad, but not that good either, since this is my first time with this author, I will continue reading this series!!!

Every Indiana Jones/Archaelogical Adventure type of story, the reader must be with the first few pages ummmm stuck to the narrative (this was true with Mr. Golemon's Event series for me), as I have said this was my first Mr. Rollins book, so maybe the pedestal was a bit high............well he started a bit on the slow side, characters introduced and a bit of twist already, and we have not yet reached 10% of the book, so our protagonists and antagonists are introduced, and the story starts to roll...........I find this first book to be different, none of the mystic like atmosphere that I usually enjoy and yet I finished it, is this more scientific, maybe since every explanation uses science, so plus for his style!!!

By the books end, I am a bit hanging on the idea, if to continue with the Sigma Force or not, well scientifically yes, for the author tries to explain scientific phenomenon and ideas as simple as possible, yes Sir and Madam, absolutely no magic(ssiiiiiigghhhhhhhhhhh..........), so I guess book two then!!!!
