| Gold in the Shadow By Michael Marcotte Review By: Mae Hochstetler www.iuniverse.com |
||||||||
| Michael Marcotte's "Gold in the Shadow" is a brilliantly crafted archeological thriller that entices the reader through the Peruvian rainforest in search of the lost city of Patiti. The entwining of the labyrinth of challenges and pitfalls beyond ecological standards, and his vibrant and diverse characters that fight to survive their adventure, constantly keeps the reader on the edge throughout each chapter. Based on both Egyptian and Peruvian archeology, Marcotte's research hooks the reader throughout each chapter, obstacle and creature they face. | ||||||||
| Lured into this expedition thorough purely deceitful means, anthropologist Rachel Aquila recalls the strength and stamina of hope as well as the guidance of an earth goddess, "Pachmama" through her many difficult circumstances. As the only woman on the expedition, Rachel soon learns what an asset her gifts of linguistics and feminine wiles become as their mission comes near to completion, where she proves that she is not a member of the weaker sex. | ||||||||
| Gold in the Shadows takes the reader on an unstoppable ride of deception, adventure, history and suspense. It feeds the senses and depraves the reader of any better judgment as the plot unfolds. A masterful work of plot driven adventure, that brims with the deep and mystical studies of Archeology, Gold in the Shadows by Michael Marcotte oozes with greatness and screams SCREENPLAY! | ||||||||
