Book # 32 in the Colton Banyon Mystery

Mr.Kuckicki has created an exciting mystery blended with some Sumerian mythology and has topped it all with some fantasy. What I like the best about this series is although fictional we always learn something of history all said in an entertaining way. This latest is based on the Anunnaki, ancient Sumerian gods whose primary function was decree the fates of humanity. Some believed them to be extraterrestrial.

It has been a long time between novels and I missed reading Colton exploits. “The Anunnaki Purse” is divided in Fourteen parts and starts a long time ago “A Very Ancient Times” with the ruler of Nibiru looking down on a planet in trouble, then the story progresses to “Ancient Time on Earth” and to the “Present Day”. There is a lot going on, first the Annunaki purse is found then is stolen and then the hunt is on to retrieve it. Colton takes a long time to show up but finally does with his team in Part three chapter Fourteen. But once in, his contribution to the story is what makes this thrilling adventure intercepted with fantasy a very pleasant read.

The prize:

Why is the purse so valuable? What magic does it hold? Why is it so sought after? Why would so many kill to get hold of it? We find all answers along the way…..

The Characters:

So many players to entertain us: Egyptians, North Koreans and Americans, good people, bad people and the Anunnaki… all parts played are graphic and visual. Most of all, Colton and the members of the Forever Ours team are always ready for a challenge and of course there to save the day….They are a great group of super heroes…..

The plot:

The story provides one surprise after the other. I won’t spoil your enjoyment by revealing too many secrets. But be ready to travel from one side of the world to another and even take a step or two into the unknown. …and be spooked along the way….

More thoughts:

This is an easy and fast read: small chapters, clean language and a captivating storyline. The characters are well-drawn even the Anunnaki are characterized to leave an impression and they do…..

A special mention taken from the author’s notes

“We don’t know when the Anunnaki appeared, but the first written evidence of them appeared in tablets around 2,500 B.C. We likewise don’t know when they disappeared.” ( )
