Helpful Score: 1

This was one of those books where I read the back cover and thought, "This is MY kind of book." Then I started reading it, and it proceeded to disappoint in every possible way. What a painfully slow story full of battle details that didn't add much to the overall premise of the book: What is the meaning of and the intrigue surrounding the gold medallion Ethan Gage wins in a card game?

I must admit I stopped reading at page 222. At that point, I realized I just didn't care anymore about the medallion.

So I will never know the meaning of the medallion or the pyramids, and I will never understand why Gage's relationship with Ben Franklin was integral to the story.

I can live with that.
