About this ebook
A bloodthirsty African warlord, and an international corporate magnate exploiting a land, a culture and a people, are equally anxious to stake their claim on the relic's unknown power. Annja's odyssey deep into the primeval jungles of Senegal becomes a desperate race to stop those eager to unleash the virulence of the Spider God .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This series is a cross between Indiana Jones & Laura Croft tomb raider. Adventure & mystery abound in this archeological tale. Annja Creed is caught in the middle once again. The characters and storyline are well developed. The story was intriguing and engrossing.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well book 3 managed to come back from the disjointedness of book 2 and felt a lot more flowing and enjoyable. Annja stopped taking intuitive leaps and rather followed a trail this time, although she was helped along by the mysterious spiritual woman of the Hausa tribe. I liked the investigation of the mythology and history of the Hausa people of Africa along with the very frank and brutal discussions around slavery and the slave trade that Annja has in this book both with the students at the dig site and with her colleague. Also points for bringing Garin back in however briefly!
