DESCRIPTION:
Michael E LaRiviere said When the dead protect the dead, the living should beware - An exciting scientific and high tech journey into the Arcane. The Third Gate combines the best efforts of a leading Egyptologist, enigmologist (someone who specializes in enigmas), an uber-rich treasure hunter, a spattering of archeologists, the best high technologists money can buy, medical doctors, a previously dead woman, and a space station-like work center. All this and these sit amid the world’s most formidable and impenetrable swamp called the Sudd on the Nile River.No expenses ha. Jodel said Suspensful to the end. I have to admit I was very close to putting this book down after reading the first 10 chapters. It was taking a long time for Child to get to the point, but when he did there was no turning back and you understood why those initial chapters were important to the story line, if a little dull.This is one of those books that you read into the wee hours of the morning, skip your favorite TV shows and even take with you too the bathroom.. D. Cox said Different twist from Lincoln Child. I've been a long-time reader of Child and Preston (Predergast series, etc), and was a little leery about this novel. However I was very pleased to be introduced to a new character in Jeremy Logan and a different type of setting. It was a very fun read, quick with a lot going on. I learned a little and had a lot of fun reading this. I'm looking forward to reading the other Logan novel in the near future.

What he finds will raise new questions and alarm. Under the direction of famed explorer Porter Stone, an archaeological team is secretly attempting to locate the tomb of an ancient pharaoh who was unlike any other in history. In the hands of master storyteller Lincoln Child, The Third Gate breaks new ground and introduces a fascinating new protagonist to the thriller world.. The dig itself is located in one of the most forbidding places on Earth - the Sudd, a nearly impassable swamp in northern Sudan. Amid the nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and d
