Book Description
#1 bestselling thriller that will soon be a major motion picture!
THE TEAM:
Financed by a billionaire philanthropist, this elite team--a soldier, an historian, a computer whiz, a weapons expert, and a thief--is tasked with finding the world's most legendary treasures.
THE MISSION:
Fearing a German victory in WWI, the Romanian government signed a deal with Russia to protect the country's treasures. In 1916, two trains full of gold and the most precious possessions of the Romanian state--paintings, jewelry, and ancient artifacts--were sent to the underground vaults of the Kremlin. But in the turmoil of war, the Romanian treasure was scattered and lost.
THE PRIZE:
The collection is now valued at over $3.5 billion. Despite several attempts to find it, its location has remained a mystery...until now.
My Review
This was an action-plot thriller with great characters. Held my interest all the way through to the very end. I would have rated the book higher but Kuzneski kept a lot of information from the reader and thereby the reader felt left out and not a part of the story at times. Also the plot was interesting but some of the scenes were unbelievable and drawn out too much with technological information. I will continue with the series though, as the characters grow and get more cohesive in the future books, hopefully. I would recommend this series to those who love thrilling adventure novels.
