Why read it?
1 author picked The Secret of the Stones as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Ernest Dempsey is a maverick. He really pushes the gauntlet and what I like is that he has strong but flawed characters. I mean - who doesn’t want to own the International Archeological Agency - but its owner, Tommy, is actually just a pudgy rich kid.

From Mike's list on archeological adventures with action, mystery and ancient knowledge.
