Excavation

by J Rollins

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | June 15, 2000 | Mass Market Paperbound

High in the Andes, Dr. Henry Conklin discovers a 500-year-old mummy that should not be there. While deep in the South American jungle, Conklin's nephew, Sam, stumbles upon a remarkable site nestled between two towering peaks, a place hidden from human eyes for thousands of years.

Ingenious traps have been laid to ensnare the careless and unsuspecting, and wealth beyond imagining could be the reward for those with the courage to face the terrible unknown. But where the perilous journey inward endsâ€"in the cold, shrouded heart of a breathtaking necropolisâ€"something else is waiting for Sam Conklin and his exploratory party. A thing created by Man, yet not humanly possible. Something wondrous . . . something terrifying.

    Action-packed

    Great quick read. Like all of Rollins' books, full of implausible but entertaining adventures. A hard-cover reprint of an earlier printing, to take advantage of Rollins' growing popularity - which is well-deserved.

    A fun read

    Exciting, suspenseful and well written. Real surprise ending, I didn't see it coming. Character development could be better. Overall, well worth the effort.

    Buy this book! I promise you won't be disappointed with Rollins' second novel. It easily rivals "Indiana Jones" with a tight intricate plot, plenty of fast paced action adventure, booby traps galore, treasure, lost civilizations and an ending that will blow your mind. Rollins is one of the few authors out there who can captivate you in the first ten pages and keep you up all night with his stories. He is already in the league of authors such as Preston/Childs and Crichton on only his second novel. I'm very much looking forward to anything else this favorite author writes in the future.

From the Critics

From the opening scene high in the Andes to the stunning finish, Excavation is a real page turner. Archaeology, lost Inca cities, graves, gold, and death -- what else could you want in a book? Rollins keeps the story in overdrive, with plenty of twists and turns before the final shocker. A compulsive read. (Douglas Preston, co-author with Lincoln Child of THE ICE LIMIT)
