An entertaining debut - Rated
This is an engrossing and entertaining read, with good insight into it's character's motivations, although there seemed to be a few too many supporting characters who slowed down the action to my mind.
I understand it took the author some time to get this published, but hopefully it was worth the effort. If he can build on the strengths of this first book then I look forward to reading his next effort.
The magic of Alexander the Great - a fast paced thriller - Rated
Alexander the Great and his long lost resting place is the core and background for this fast paced thriller, even tough it needs a bit of time to gain that pace. Several different stories interwine and lead to a dramtic end. Here all the right ingredients are in place to hook the readers quickly and wanting them to learn how the story continues to find the long lost treasure - the tomb of Alexander the Great. It is a great debut novel.
Well-written adventure novel - Rated
During my 1-week holiday in the sun I read this book and really enjoyed it. An adventure novel set in Egypt, with lots of interesting and well-researched details about the country itself and about the story of Alexander the Great. A good choice of very different characters that interact in a way that makes the story nice to read.
Thoroughly enjoyable, it made my holiday even better than it already was.
Good debut! - Rated
The Alexander Cipher is the first novel written by Will Adams. It centers around archaelogist Daniel Knox and a desperate search to find the lost tomb of Alexander the Great. Set in Egypt amidst corruption and political wrangling this is an Indiana Jones style hunt for lost and sacred ancient artefacts.
This book is an enjoyable story and Will Adams clearly knows his stuff and has done plenty of research. It's very easy to read and not at all a hardship. Knox is a superb hero, just about flawed and ruthless enough to make him interesting. However the tale was a little slow starting and the ending does feel a bit rushed as the events come to a head ever so suddenly. Therefore it only gets 4 stars from me.
Well worth reading for anyone interested in thrillers or historical novels and I look forward to the next book Adams produces.
you will know where he was buried... - Rated
Well started reading the first 7 chapters. Still very vague about searching the Alexander burial location. Getting involve some characters; Knox who is on the run for beating up his boss. Surely he will be on track for his mission in Egypt...read on brb.
Just completed this book. What I have to say about Daniel Knox being the hero at the end...seems so many difficult times and suffering he has gone through. Losing best friend, Rick and fear for satety and survivor of his 'girlfrend' Gaille. I think he come a long way to be what he will be end of the book. Is not about Alexander at the end...it is his work and future endeavour. But he has no choice since Egypt has powerful networks who will linger on for fortunes they did not work for. Only Knox and Gaille knows but they just prefer to be norm.
Good read, especially towards the end just when Alexander's coffin was found. 7.5/10
