Publisher's Summary:
The 12th in the fantastic Wilde/Chase series sees Nina trying to follow in her late mother's footsteps as she and husband Eddie search for King Midas' legacy.
A return to Atlantis
The lost city has defined Nina Wilde's life. Her parents' obsession with Atlantis cost them their lives, but finding it brought Nina to her husband, Eddie Chase, and a series of archaeological treasures.
A secret codex
A decade later the International Heritage Agency needs their help to locate the Secret Codex, an account of ancient Atlantean explorer Talonor's journeys, thought to be located in the dangerous underwater ruins of Atlantis. Unable to resist one more adventure, the couple join the mission.
A king whose touch turns all to gold
But when a long-lost relative reappears in Nina's life, asking her to use the codex to find a hidden cave containing the secret of King Midas, she is unprepared for the devastation that follows. The promise of unlimited gold has aroused the greed of powerful and ruthless forces...and only Nina and Eddie stand in their way.
Members Reviews:
Great read....but some was unrealistic
Well I am a big fan of Nina and Eddie's antics and this book was full of fun and a great story line. But,I had to skip a few pages at the end of the book because their exploits were just too unreal. I will not be a spoiler, but, hanging off the back of an aircraft in a truck is a bit much.
The characters are a good balance of good and bad and how Eddie and Nina deal with them in their standard fashion....Zink, bam, bonk!
But ,they have a new outlook on life since they have a 3 year old daughter...Macy.
The book was one of the best reads I have had this year. Mr. McDermott did a great job of making me think I was with our two hero's dodging punches and bullets. If I overlooked the pages of unreal activities then I would of given the book 5 stars. That being said each time I picked up the book I could not wait to see where Nina and Eddie took me next.
Decent enough but missing something
I have really enjoyed the action and the humor of all of Andy McDermott's Wilde and Chase novels. I've read all of them. This one is a different scenario as they now have a toddler daughter and we meet Nina's long lost grandmother, who has a secret of her own.
But while I liked the book it didn't seem as satisfying to me as the older ones. It read like a soap opera at times and less about the action, which the author is really good at writing. There were a few laugh out loud moments, which I enjoyed. If you are a fan of these books you need to read it. If you've never read a book by Andy McDermott, I recommend finding his older ones first.
But as always, I'm looking forward to the next one.
Good But Silly
Andy McDermott's THE MIDAS LEGACY has a lot going for it. The best being the main characters, Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase. When they're together in the book, the novel moves along, is exciting, and made me laugh. However, the "fire-power" scenes with the bad guys also made me laugh, and not in a good way. This is a long novel, and it would've worked better had those battle scenes been cut in less than half. The shooting and bombs got silly after awhile, and I often forgot what Nina and Eddie were doing in the various locales. Mr. McDermott's writing is better than this.
