β¦ Synopsis
This very entertaining series of adventure novels rolls merrily along. This one, credited as usual to its hero (but really written by horror novelist and screenwriter David J. Schow), finds Hunt heading off to China on a mission of mercy. Seems that a close friend of Hunt's sister is up on a charge of murder, but the real villain appears to be a Chinese financier who's up to some serious no good. Aside from helping out his sister, Hunt is also very interested in the possibility that a fabled treasure (some incredibly valuable nineteenth-century terra-cotta warriors created by βthe Vlad the impaler of Chinese historyβ) might actually exist. The Hunt novels are old-fashioned thriller-adventures with a modern touchβ guns that shoot acid bullets, Twitter, that sort of thing. Gabriel Hunt, the wealthy adventurer who charges headlong into danger armed only with his wits and a Colt Peacemaker (circa 1880), is a great character, cut very much from the Indiana Jones cloth but not by any means a pale imitation of Indy. This is a fine series, and adventure fans will look forward to many more tales of Hunt. --David Pitt
