City of Gold
City of Gold: (Mathew Connor Adventure Series Book 1) | Carolyn Arnold
3 posts | 5 read
Finding the Incas' lost City of Gold would be the discovery of a lifetime. But failing could mean her death… Archaeologist Matthew Connor and his friends Cal and Robyn are finally home after a dangerous retrieval expedition in India. While they succeeded in obtaining the priceless Pandu artifact they sought, it almost cost them their lives. Still, Matthew is ready for the next adventure. Yet when new intel surfaces indicating the possible location of the legendary City of Gold, Matthew is hesitant to embark on the quest. Not only is the evidence questionable but it means looking for the lost city of Paititi far away from where other explorers have concentrated their efforts. As appealing as making the discovery would be, it’s just too risky. But when Cal’s girlfriend, Sophie, is abducted by Matthew’s old nemesis who is dead-set on acquiring the Pandu statue, Matthew may be forced into action. Saving Sophie’s life means either breaking into the Royal Ontario Museum to steal the relic or offering up something no one in his or her right mind can refuse—the City of Gold. Now Matthew and his two closest friends have to find a city and a treasure that have been lost for centuries. And they only have seven days to do it. As they race against the clock, they quickly discover that the streets they seek aren’t actually paved with gold, but with blood. About the Mathew Connor Adventure Series: Action-adventure books for the mystery lover. Strap yourself in for an adventure with archaeologist and treasure hunter Matthew Connor and his two closest friends as they travel the globe to uncover legends the world has all but forgotten. Indiana Jones meets the twenty-first century. This is the perfect book series for fans of Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, National Treasure, and The Relic Hunter.

It's an entertaining adventure story if you're willing to ignore the clichéd characters and questionable motivations. For me, after all the heavy and depressing stuff I've been reading lately, this light read was a welcome change, but I don't think I'll continue with the series.

Found it just interesting enough to finish. Some sloppy writing at times. Very predictable. Toward the end she completely jump passed a very important and possibly the most exciting part to get to the end. It was like she just reached a word count goal and wrapped up the story!

eeclayton That's exactly how I felt about the ending, too. 6y
