Narrative To Books Clockwork Doomsday (Rogue Angel #43)
A key. An ancient automaton. A race against the devil to the deep blue sea…It started in 48 B.C. when a centurion on a rescue mission for Caesar went down with the ship in a storm. With his last breath, he saw the object of Caesar's seafaring excursion—an accursed, mechanical minotaur—hit bottom…and start to walk away!
While taping an episode of Chasing History's Monsters, TV host and archaeologist Annja Creed learns that her sometime friend and protector Garin has acquired an ancient butterfly key artifact, the kind once used to wind automatons, clockwork-style devices. Except, this key comes with a rumor attached, a story that it once worked a god-touched device both rare and unbelievably powerful.
No sooner does Garin hold the key than it's snatched from his hands by a freewheeling historian who plays by her own rules. And she wants ultimate power, which could happily include the sword of Joan of Arc. The quest for the key and the mythological automaton reunites Annja, Garin and his old mentor Roux in Genoa, and pits them in a race across Europe to beat a foe as resourceful and skilled as Annja herself.

Best one in a while! Maybe because of Roux and Garin?The only thing holding me back from giving this one 5 stars is the prologue. It totally makes the clockwork items appear to be way more deadly. What happens later totally does not match the same scale of what happened in the prologue. Besides, I don't recall what they did with the "powerful" item. Loose ends totally NOT tied up as far as I can see. If I missed it, then let me know. It may be enough to get me to change my review.
Another episode in the Rogue Angel series featuring archeologist Annja Creed and her two mentors, Garin and Roux. I chose to read this based on a review of another GoodReads member who said it featured a change between the three characters. I agree with that assessment more or less, i.e. in this the 43rd installment of the series, protagonist Annja Creed does come to the aid of both Garin and Roux but she puts herself in danger by doing so and it isn't much of a reversal of roles for the 3 of
A house name for the Rogue Angel series, published by the Harlequin Publishing's Gold Eagle division.The first eight novels were written by Victor Milan and Mel Odom. New writers joining the series starting with book nine include Jon Merz and Joseph Nassise.
A silly series, but fun.
Annja Creed, who wields Joan of Arc's sword and is very reminiscent of Indiana Jones and Lara Croft and especially Sarah Pezzini, appears every other month or so in a new Rogue Angel adventure. It's a very formulaic series, like television adventure series used to be, with everything at the end having to be re-set to the way it was at the beginning. They're usually light, fun, books, good for a couple of hours of relaxation. Predictably, some of them aren't very good, but every once in a while
4.25 starsDefinitley one if the better stories in this series!
