User reviews
With “Journey…” we have the NUMA team of Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala in Scotland just in time to rescue shipwrecked sailors. When they are attacked by helicopter and a mysterious MI5 agent, female and attractive as is the nature of these books, arrives to save the pair from overwhelming fiends, the NUMA boys know there is a great mystery to be solved, one that involves treasure naturally.
While there is a formula for these novels, the writing, the surprise twists and turns, and the history involved makes each unique and interesting. Worth reading you might say.

Kurt Austin, ,Joe Zavala, and Paul & Gamay Trout are at it again, this time teaming up with Britain's MI5 to investigate an
If you are a Cussler fan, you will not be disappointed with "Journey of the Pharaohs."
As always, Cussler starts the story in the past - but on this occasion at two points in time before bringing the story to the present day.
A tale of Egyptian treasure followed across the globe to the Grand Canyon.
