In 1941, the remains of the Peking Man went missing. Now,
the governments of the United States and China are racing
against one another to locate and recover those remains
as a new religious sect worshipping the Peking Man is
growing in China. Archaeologist Lexy Vaughan and retired
Air Force officer, Steve Macaulay, have been asked to
once again assist after the US government approaches
their friend, Dr. Barnaby Finchem. Which group will find
the Peking Man remains first?
THE BONE HUNTERS is the second book in the Lexy
Vaughan & Steve Macaulay series but the adventures in
each book stand on their own merits. I loved Lexy and
Macaulay in the first book so I was thrilled to see them
back together in THE BONE HUNTERS. We get some of the
same likable characters from VALHALLA while meeting a few
new ones as well.
THE BONE HUNTERS kicks off at a fast pace that never
stops as action and intrigue are at the heart of the
story. Lexy, Macauley, and Barnaby have to unravel the
historical clues to determine what might have happened to
Peking Man. Robert J. Mrazek does a marvelous job at
making a historical mystery seem not only timely and
relevant, but absolutely fascinating as well. In fact,
seeing June Corcoran and Lieutenant Colonel Tommy
Somervell navigate the maze of historical documents, both
classified and unclassified, is almost as intriguing as
the constant action and threats faced by Lexy, Macaulay,
and Barnaby.
THE BONE HUNTERS is chock full of action as Robert J.
Mrazek keeps the tension level high. THE BONE HUNTERS
isn't the sort of book you start reading at bedtime as
you're liable to end up all night after promising you'll
stop after just one more page. I hope there are future
thrillers in store for us in the Lexy Vaughan & Steve
Macaulay series!
The award-winning author of Valhalla brings back
archaeologist Lexy Vaughan and retired Air Force officer
Steve Macaulay, as they race to save a priceless discovery
from disappearing forever.…
One of the greatest archaeological finds of all time,
Peking
Man, the 780,000-year-old remains of our earliest known
human ancestor, disappeared during World War II from a
cargo
ship bound for America.
Now the Chinese government is fighting to keep a new
religion from taking hold—a faith based on the belief that
Peking Man is God. And they dispatch ruthless operatives to
find and destroy the world’s most priceless fossil.
But the U.S. government has its own team on the hunt. From
the mountains of Bavaria to the jungles of Central America
and across the vast Pacific, Professor Barnaby Finchem, his
brilliant protégé, Lexy Vaughan, and pilot Steve Macaulay
will brave the wrath of nature and of man to win a race
against unbridled tyranny.
