Historical Fiction Interesting but failed to surprise My first book by this author, it engaded my interest quickly. Paced well, it's characters were fascinating as was the premise. Momentum builds as the team makes their way through the three chambers of the tomb. And with each, fascinating discovery is made. The subplot is a bit contrived however and as it's theme is revealed, the ending becomes predictable which in my opinion, ruins the momentum. Regardless, it's well written and engaging. Jeremy Logan, profesor de historia en Yale y respetado enigmatólogo, recibe una propuesta de trabajo de su viejo amigo Ethan Rush. Porter Stones, un «buscador» de tesoros antiguos, ha reclutado a un grupo de arqueólogos y otros expertos para localizar la mítica tumba del faraón Narmer (también conocido como Menes), el primer faraón del Antiguo Egipto. Una inscripción sobre un trozo de cerámica indica que la tumba verdadera está bajo el Sudd, la enorme ciénaga que se extiende al final del cauce del río Nilo. Aquí Jeremy averiguará cuál será su papel en la exploración: investigar una serie de misteriosos accidentes que ponen en peligro la excavación. Jeremy Logan, a professor of history, is a self-proclaimed enigmalogist who explores paranormal phenomenon. A reclusive millionaire, Porter Stone, with a reputation for amazing discoveries is working on his greatest ever: locating the tomb of Narmer, the Pharaoh who united Upper and Lower Egypt some 5,000 years ago. The tomb site is located in the Sudd, the vast swamp that lies in the Sudan, south of Egypt. Strange occurences are happening and the expedition is relying on the visits to the "other side" by the wife of the chief medical officer to help understand the nature of the curse placed on the hidden tomb by Narmer. But, treachery abounds within the team and within the tomb. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Under the direction of famed explorer Porter Stone, an archaeological team is secretly attempting to locate the tomb of an ancient pharaoh who was unlike any other in history. Stone believes he has found the burial chamber of King Narmer, the near mythical god- king who united upper and lower Egypt in 3200 B.C., and the archaeologist has reason to believe that the greatest prize of all??Narmer??s crown??might be buried with him. No crown of an Egyptian king has ever been discovered, and Narmer??s is the elusive ??double? crown of the two Egypts, supposedly possessed of awesome powers. The dig itself is located in one of the most forbidding places on earth??the Sudd, a nearly impassable swamp in northern Sudan. Amid the nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation, a series of harrowing and inexplicable occurrences are causing people on the expedition to fear a centuries- old curse. With a monumental discovery in reach, Professor Jeremy Logan is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds will raise new questions . . . and alarm. In the hands of master storyteller Lincoln Child, The Third Gate breaks new ground and introduces a fascinating new protago Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
