I discovered “The Ark Files” by accident. I was reviewing Amazon Ad customer selections for my novel, “The Code Hunters,” and found many readers also enjoyed “The Ark Files.” I had to read it, or more correctly, I listened to the audio version read by Claudia Campbell.
The plot centers around a secret manuscript that could potentially change the world. This novel is based on real archaeological finds, with some names slightly altered to blend fact and fiction.
The story follows Eden Black, a professional treasure hunter who finds herself embroiled in a dangerous mystery after her father’s death. As she investigates, she discovers that his death wasn’t an accident, but part of a pattern of deaths connected to an archaeological dig from twenty years ago.
The novel blends elements of archaeology, action, and suspense. My novels are dialog driven. Richardson’s are description driven, and I tip my hat to Richardson for his brilliant depiction of action scenes.
He shares my emphasis on settings in his stories. His travels allow him to envision exciting scenes, such as chase sequences in markets or action on rooftops in various locations around the world.
So, I agree with readers. If you like “The Code Hunters,” read “The Ark Files.”
BTW: “The Ark Files” is the first in a series of Eden Black adventures.
