Tres hermanos muy distintos deben cumplir con la última voluntad paterna: emprender la peligrosa búsqueda de la herencia. Pero esa enorme colección de arte perdida en la selva incluye un tesoro codiciado por muchos. Tres héroes singulares contra ambiciosos sin escrúpulos, en un trepidante desafÃo comparable a Indiana Jones. The Codex is a very good story from beginning to end. The family strife is very believable. The nasty father with many secrets is also believable. A pace was set and carried out throughout. It is a story that goes beyond family to high suspense. The book received four stars in this review and is highly recommended. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML: "Greetings from the dead," declares Maxwell Broadbent on the videotape he left behind after his mysterious disappearance. A notorious treasure hunter and tomb robber, Broadbent accumulated over a half a billion dollars' worth of priceless art, gems, and artifacts before vanishingâ??-along with his entire collectionâ??-from his mansion in New Mexico. At first, robbery is suspected, but the truth proves far stranger: As a final challenge to his three sons, Broadbent has buried himself and his treasure somewhere in the world, hidden away like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. If the sons wish to claim their fabulous inheritance, they must find their father's carefully concealed tomb. The race is on, but the three brothers are not the only ones competing for the treasure. This secret is so astounding it cannot be kept quiet for long. With half a billion dollars at stake, as well as an ancient Mayan codex that may hold a cure for cancer and other deadly diseases, others soon join the huntâ??-and some of them will stop at nothing to claim the grave goods. The bestselling coauthor of such page-turning thrillers as Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities, Douglas Preston now spins an unforgettable tale of greed, adventure, and betrayal in The Codex No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
