Review: Silly but well edited
Rating: 2 out of 5

The first 70% of the book could be rewritten in three pages. Here is my version: Alexander the Great dies. Caesar moves Alexander's sarcophagus and loses it in the desert. The Nazi's find the sarcophagus and lose it when the freighter they put it on is torpedoed. I don't remember much about the Alexander part of the book. I giggled my way through the Roman part it was so silly. The Nazi/Brit part made me wonder how old the author is. It reminded me of someone playing dress-up, pretending to be someone they aren't.Then we get to the modern part. I'm sorry, but I found it boring. The "so bad it's funny" had worn off by that time. Nothing in this book struck me as real. Not the conversations, the emotions, the actions, the thoughts. I'm not even sure what the point of the book is. There are four parts to this book. Each part is loosely tied together by Alexander's sarcophagus.I think anyone who takes the time to write a book deserves at least one star for effort. This book was more than decently edited, which sadly is not usual when it comes to e-books. That's the second star. I don't want to discourage Mr. Noyce, but he has a lot to learn in the writing craft. As of this review, he has three books out. I can only hope he is learning and improving.
