Book Description

In the brilliant fourth book from Andy McDermott, Nina Wilde must battle the Covenant of Genesis if she is to find the world’s greatest archaeological treasure...

Off the coast of Indonesia, archaeologist Nina Wilde makes an explosive find: evidence of a settlement that existed over a hundred thousand years before any previously known civilisation. But when her ship is attacked, it becomes clear that the clandestine religious group calling itself the Covenant of Genesis will stop at nothing to prevent her from revealing this knowledge.

With her fiancé Eddie Chase, Nina embarks upon a dangerous worldwide search to expose the Covenant of Genesis – and the incredible secret they will kill to conceal.

Book Review

Its amazing how Nina Wilde is in the path of every possible major archaeological find ever made! yea, yea, I know, I'm addicted to the action packed sequences that always seem to follow Eddie Chase as he goes about trying to rescue his damsel in distress, Nina. Well, the two have another strong and powerful enemy in the Covenant of Genesis which brings together some fanatics from the three major Abrahamic religions.

Their mission, to keep the world from finding out that the Garden of Eden was an actual place in Africa. The reason? It wasn't the home of early human beings, but a whole different ball game. So I'm not going to spoil the fun, in case you do decide to read the book. They go through many continents and countries and as Nina says, now people have officially tried to kill her on all seven continents.

Cashmere JL


Book Description


The third thrilling adventure thriller featuring archaeologist Nina Wilde, in which Nina must find Excalibur, King Arthur’s beloved sword.

Said to make whoever holds it unstoppable in battle, the sword Excalibur has been coveted across the ages, and thought lost for over a thousand years. With a cryptic message to archaeologist Nina Wilde, this may be about to change.

Historian Bernd Rust believes he can locate Excalibur... and that the sword is the key to harnessing an incredible source of energy. Nina is sceptical – until she and Rust are attacked by mercenaries determined to steal his research.

Nina and her boyfriend, ex-SAS soldier Eddie Chase, are soon propelled into a deadly race to find Excalibur. From the deserts of Syria to the arctic wastes of Russia, Nina and Chase must battle a merciless enemy who plans to use the sword’s powers to plunge the world into a new era of war...

Book Review

Okay, so I'll admit that after the somewhat disappointing second book The Tomb of Hercules, I thought I'd give up on the series. Then I went back to the first chapter I had read of Book 3 and decided to check it out anyway. So glad I did. This time round the myth busting comes to England, along with a side helping of Eddie's family.

Absolutely love the Nan (Grandmother)'s response to be in a high speed chase with her Grandson Eddie and his Fiancée Nina through her little English countryside town. Of course the rest of the book was a whole series of action, events beyond control, subterfuge and double crosses of the kinds masala movies are made of. It was more interesting and had a number of twists in the plot as compared to Book 2 which barely had a story to string all the action together.

For previous books in the series, here's the list.

Book Description


An ancient warrior

For archaeologist Nina Wilde it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. Her studies of an ancient text have convinced her that a tomb containing the remains of legendary warrior Hercules may actually exist. If she can locate it, it will be the most important historical find ever to be unearthed.

An incredible treasure

As Nina and Eddie Chase, her ex-SAS bodyguard, begin their search it’s clear that others want to find the tomb – and the unimaginable riches contained within. Then Chase’s attention is diverted by the re-appearance of a face from his past...

Book Review


The discovery of Atlantis was kept a secret so as not to let out the details of the villain's plan to wipe out 98% of the earth's population with a biologically engineered plague. However Dr Nina Wilde is now in a new position of power at a multi nation funded agency. Right by her side is her former body guard and current boy friend Eddie Chase. They are still adjusting to regular office hours, in Eddie's case not so successfully, when they get plunged in to one more wild chase!

The book is not as much fun as The Hunt for Atlantis (Book 1 in the series), because there just seems to be scene after scene of action with no breathing space to build up the story. Still its living up to the masala movie standard and has the hero survive all kinds of odds to finally manage to rescue his love and realize that he wants something more permanent in the nature of the relationship.

Book Description

Following in the tradition of Clive Cussler and Matthew Reilly, Andy McDermott takes us a roller-coaster ride in search of the legendary Atlantis.

Archaeologist Nina Wilde believes she has found the location of the lost city of Atlantis and now she wants the opportunity to prove her theory. Someone else though wants her dead! 

With the help of ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase and beautiful heiress Kari Frost, Nina faces a breakneck race against time around the world, pursued at every step by agents of the mysterious and murderous Brotherhood of Selasphoros. From the jungles of Brazil to the mountains of Tibet, from the streets of Manhattan to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, the hunt for Atlantis leads to a secret hidden for 11,000 years which in the wrong hands could destroy civilization as we know it...

Book Review 

If you enjoy movies where a whole lot of stuff gets blown up and the hero survives all odds to come out victorious in the end, you are going to love this book. While I was more interested in the Atlantis angle, and that was the original reason I picked up the book at the library, I was perfectly happy to go with the Crash, Bang and Flow of the story once I realized the masala novel it was.
