GENERAL FICTION
"Serpent" by Clive
Cussler and Paul Kemprecos
There's a new man in town! Kurt
Austin and his sidekick Joe Zavala are counterparts of Dirk Pitt and his pal
Rudy.
Artifacts are found proving that
there was contact with the New World before Columbus. But when these items show
up, they are destroyed and the finders are killed by a secret brotherhood,
founded to preserve the greatness of Columbus. But the head of the brotherhood
has his own agenda. Come along for the ride as Kurt and Joe thwart his plans and
make amazing discoveries. There is great fun, damsels in distress and just
general mayhem rivaling the Dirk Pitt adventures. I look forward to the next
adventure of these new superheroes from NUMA.
