Title: Gabriel's Horn Series: Rogue Angel Author: Alex Archer Rating: 3 of 5 Stars Genre: Paranormal Pages: 314 Synopsis: Roux, Annja's erstwhile mentor, is hunting down a painting that might lead him to Gabriel's Horn. An artifact of power that will end the world, and end Roux's guilt over the death of Joan of Arc. Garin, Roux's other apprentice, wants the artifact for himself. Annja is caught in the middle of her "family's" squabble and is pretty much blown to and fro. My Thoughts: This time around, the author doesn't make Annja doubt the supernatural side of what she has inherited with the sword. She plunges into the adventure without all the inner whining and self-doubt we've run across before. Thank goodness! The "romantic" under current between Garin and Annja was a bit ridiculous. In many ways, they are like step-siblings with a rascally, unruly father. The tension between them is more animalistic than real. Two powerful people coming to terms with the other while jealously guarding the relationship they have with their father figure. The "family" aspect was really played up in this book and it should have been, it is a great plot device. The overall layout of the story is the exact same. I think there is a template that all the authors must use. Something, something, something, wrap it up in the last 10% of the book. Things just get solved in all the books in the last 10%, without fail. It is good to keep that in mind. " ( ) Annja Creed is a part-time archeologist, part-time tv host of Chasing History's Monsters, and full-time adventurer. After a dangerous attack on a European movie set, Annja finds herself shipped back to the States. But danger soon follows her back. And when a strange, homeless man appears who spouts warnings about the end of the world, Annja discovers that he may not be completely crazy. Meanwhile, Roux is on the trail of an antique painting that holds an incredible secret. And two deadly adversaries will stop at nothing to get their hands on it as well. This installment is probably one of the best since the original book Destiny. With plenty of action, adventure, mystery, and a hunt for artifacts, Gabriel's Horn, is a must read for any adventure fan. Mel Odom ghost-wrote this wonderful story, with intense action scenes and a deeper look into Annja and Garin's relationship. And leaves room for some interesting future situations. If you haven't been reading Rogue Angel, don't worry about the number of books. They don't need to be read in order, save the first one Destiny (also written by Mel Odom), as each is a completely different adventure. Archaeological adventures with a twist of fantasy, Rogue Angel is still one of my all time favorite series. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
