I enjoyed the first book, action with possibility of a relationship. But this had way too much relationship in it and the action was too repetitive. Also constantly doing stupid things.
I wont bother buy another

This second book in the Wilde series is nothing but a non stop thrill ride. It continues on from the previous book nicely and grows each of the characters from the first book nicely. You get even more stupid puns from Eddie and see more of Ninas wild/angry side that you love.
I would definitely recommend this book and from reading these first 2 books in the series, this is a series to continue reading.

The tomb of Hercules
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2018Verified Purchase
Nina thought she'd landed her dream job, great money, funding, and time to focus on a new obsession, finding the Tomb of Hercules. After finding Atlantis she has a void to fill. Chase, however, finds himself stagnating. He was never designed to be tied to a desk, and Nina had changed, attempting to fit into her new lifestyle. Such change is not always for the better. A face from Chase's past creates strife, especially when he travels halfway around the world after her. Little did he know he was setting into motion terrible events, and Nina's latest obsession was just what they were looking for to set their plans into motion.
Betrayal, action, adventure, old alliances, and new enemies come together to create the second book in Andy McDermott's series. When first we met Nina and Eddie they sought Atlantis, now they are in search of the lost Tomb of Hercules. Buckle down because there is no lack of action, adventure and peril within. As a big follower of Greek mythology I couldn't wait to lose myself in this adventure. Whilst the first book was more Tomb Raider, in the sense of clues and pursuit of a lost civilisation, this was more James Bond, lots of action, guns, threat, disaster, but not all that much in the way of solving cryptic puzzles and following ancient clues. All in all a good read, but the first book in the series remains my favourite so far

This book picks up 12 months after The Hunt for Atlantis (McDermott's debut) and continues to centre on the lead characters of Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase. The action remains fast paced, the big 'set pieces' are well written and the tension palable but... something was missing.
Although called the Tomb of Hercules, the actual search for and follow-up of the Tomb discovery is almost a tiny side-story, whereas the primary story see's Chase rescue his ex-wife and then foil a nuclear terrotist attack. This story wasn't as appealing to me personally and I would've prefered the story to remain soley focused on the tomb discovery etc rather the reasons why and what for (which came to light much later in Atlantis).
However, the character of Eddie Chase remains a wonderful creation - he's wonderfully 'devil may care' and sexy in the way that he is written, plus his oneliners are surpurb. Nina is a little grating but I guess the author needs some folly to chase's action man routine.
Definately worth a read, but drops a star gained from Atlantis!

The thing about this book is that its like an action film, one man being awesome.
There are parts where its a wee bit far fetched, like a man shooting another directly between the eyes twice, but then again in Die Hard, Bruce Willis took on a team of terrorists that took over a building and killed them all, and it was one of the best films ever made.
The book dragged me into the story and had me wanting to read more. Andy McDermott writes it in enough detail so you can picture everything clearly, but not to much that you forget whats going on. its fluently wrote so that the story progresses all the time.
Id recommend reading the 1st book first (The search for Atlantis) as it'll let you know a little bit about the background of the characters, which isn't crucial but helps keep the story fluent.

Dialogue is immature the plot line far fetched the action inconceivable other than that it’s easy reading bit penny dreadful, if you got nothing better to do and don’t challenge the story line are happy to be carried along on a barmy rollercoaster then this is right up your...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2018Verified Purchase
This book like all the WildeChase books is a well researched humorous action adventure. The characters are well rounded, sometimes a bit OTT but somehow believable And their continued ability to escape certain death, while oft times stretching belief seems totally plausible It all comes down to the skill of a brilliant author
