Sinossi
Una squadra di archeologi sta per entrare finalmente nella mitica e misteriosa Sala delle Testimonianze nascosta sotto la Sfinge, per rivelarne i segreti sepolti da millenni. Ma la notte prima di questo fatidico momento una studentessa di archeologia, Macy Sharif, fa una scoperta sconvolgente: una setta religiosa è già riuscita a entrare nella Sala e a razziare tutti gli elementi che conducono alla localizzazione della mitica Piramide di Osiride. Incastrata da poliziotti corrotti, Macy tenta una fuga disperata, cercando di raggiungere le sole persone che possono aiutarla prima di essere ridotta al silenzio... Screditati, senza lavoro e senza soldi, l'archeologa Nina Wilde e l'ex SAS Eddie Chase hanno già abbastanza problemi per conto loro, ma non possono certo tirarsi indietro di fronte alla disperata richiesta d'aiuto della ragazza. Bisogna assolutamente trovare la misteriosa piramide prima di Khalid Osir, il carismatico leader della Setta di Osiride. Ma i membri della setta sono mossi dalla brama di mettere le mani sulle ricchezze contenute nella piramide o da qualcosa di più terribile?

Recensioni
I’m a big fan of this series. Action/adventure thrillers isn’t my usual genre but I do have a couple on my tbr and I tend to stick with the series if they have characters that I love rather than the story plot itself. And this is definitely the case for the Wilde/Chase series. I love the relationship Leggi tutto
After undeniably the best book in the series, we’re back to the norm of the first book here. It’s over the top action scenes from start to finish. And Egypt’s always a really strong setting for a treasure hunt adventure.
After 5 books in this series (and another 4 or 5 I haven't gotten to yet), one would think that McDermott couldn't possibly keep the continuing story of Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase interesting or entertaining. After all, each novel is basically a rehash, retelling, retooled version of the previous en Leggi tutto
Action movie in a book!! Yes, the double exclamation mark is deliberate. An action-packed book, but in contrast to his later books, Andy McDermott managed to weave a story in as well. We meet Macy, and learn her real name (!). We also meet Grant Thorn. The story is per usual: A priceless artifact com Leggi tutto
A tale of Egyptian Archaeology, and the addition of a 3rd character as they battle Nina's former employers in a race. In the main one of the best and well written, well paced, some educational moments and light moments too, a nice balance. Two things stopped this being a 5 star review; firstly the c Leggi tutto
I quite enjoyed this book! I love just about anything with a historical mystery to solve, and this book's focus on Egyptian history and mythology was right up my alley. I wish there had been a little more history and clues, and less "action." I still recommend it and plan to go back to the beginning Leggi tutto
I really enjoy the Wilde/Chase series and this started of brilliantly. I did get a bit lost towards the end when they were in the Pyramid but I think that was because there was so much action going on and the ending was brilliant (I won't spoil it for anyone) Overall I did enjoy this installment and Leggi tutto
Lo de siempre. Si te gustan las aventuras, bien. Si te gusta la alta literatura, no va contigo. El siguiente tendré que leerlo en inglés que no lo hay traducido. Será mi primera vez en la lengua de Shakespeare.
