5 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
An ex-Spitfire pilot is dragged into a race against a shadowy government agency to unlock the secrets of the lost empire of Atlantis... In post-war 1952, the good guys are supposed to have won. But not everything is as it seems when ex-Spitfire pilot Captain Samantha Moxley is dragged into a fight against the shadowy US government agency she used to work for. Now, with former Nazis and otherworldly monsters on her trail, Captain Moxley is forced into protecting her archaeologist sister in a race to retrieve two ancient keys that will unlock the secrets of a long-lost empire - to ensure a civilisation-destroying weapon doesn't fall into the wrong hands. But what will she have to sacrifice to save the world?

While the author tries too hard to make Moxley a female Indiana Jones, bullwhip and all, she's her own character. World weary, cynical and sarcastic, she's not interested in adventure, only protecting her sister, which leads to more Raiders of the Lost Ark style situations. Narrow escapes, Nazi villains, Egyptian artifacts all combine for a fun, pulpy adventure. The end is left open for a sequel, so be forewarned. 4 ⏳⏳⏳⏳

Normandy, 1945
The troop of British soldiers sat around the fire, nestled safely in the grassy dunes of the beach.

📚 Captain Moxley and The Embers of the Empire. I'm in the mood for a good Indiana Jones/Lara Croft adventure yarn.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
