Typical post-Cussler adventure with more adventure fantasy than substance. Better listening than reading. ( )

I really enjoyed this Cussler novel featuring Kurt Austin of NUMA.
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. ( )

Journey of the Pharaohs is another of Clive Cussler's NUMA Files book. An excellent story of intrigue, impossible situations expertly and perfectly maneuvered and executed by Kurt and Joe. The story may start out in Europe but winds up in the United States with an unexpected ending. The American Kissel cars was an interesting addition. Five stars are awarded in this review for a story well written. ( )

NUMA series is definitely another favorite of mine. This book was exciting and takes you on a fun ride. I especially love the beginning at the coast of Scotland, how can you have NUMA without water! Then England and eventually Arizona. Fun adventure from sea to cave. Clive Cussler's new (old) car 1919 Kissel Speedster made a cameo.

Thank you Clive for giving us a wonderful escape with your novels. ( )

Cussler, Clive, and Graham Brown. Journey of the Pharaohs. NUMA Files No. 17. Putnam, 2020.
Clive Cussler, who died in July 2020 at 88, was a man who seems to have lived his fictional dreams. He wrote about swash-buckling action heroes who collected classic cars and worked for a treasure-hunting company (for some reason called an agency), so he collected classic cars and founded the company he wrote about to look for shipwrecks. What he wrote were formulaic popcorn adventure fantasies that were consistently fun and sold enough to finance the classic car collection. Journey of the Pharaohs, the penultimate NUMA files novel, is a typical product. The plot is a three-ring circus, following the fate of some ancient Egyptian treasure that may have been brought to the New World earlier than anyone thought possible. There are also a 1920s aviation story and a shipwreck story tucked into the plot. Of course, there are also over-the-top villains, who can’t seem to shoot as straight as our heroes. I like that his female characters are never just eye-candy. They are usually scientists with martial skills that rival their male companions. Late in his career Cussler worked with many coauthors, but kept the product consistent. It will be interesting to see whether the franchise stays in business after the demise of its founder. ( )
