But,I had to skip a few pages at the end of the book because their exploits were just too unreal. I will not be a spoiler, but, hanging off the back of an aircraft in a truck is a bit much.The characters are a good balance of good and bad and how Eddie and Nina deal with them in their standard fashion....Zink, bam, bonk!But ,they have a new outlook on life since they have a 3 year old daughter...Macy.The book was one of the best reads I have had this year. Mr. McDermott did a great job of making me think I was with our two hero's dodging punches and bullets. If I overlooked the pages of unreal activities then I would of given the book 5 stars. That being said each time I picked up the book I could not wait to see where Nina and Eddie took me next.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good But SillyBy Lois FisherAndy McDermott's THE MIDAS LEGACY has a lot going for it. The best being the main characters, Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase. When they're together in the book, the novel moves along, is exciting, and made me laugh. However, the "fire-power" scenes with the bad guys also made me laugh, and not in a good way. This is a long novel, and it would've worked better had those battle scenes been cut in less than half. The shooting and bombs got silly after awhile, and I often forgot what Nina and Eddie were doing in the various locales. Mr. McDermott's writing is better than this. I could see "between-the-lines" that he had more substance.This is the latest in the series. I went to read the first one HUNT FOR ATLANTIS, where the couple meets, and found a much better, tighter written book. I want adventure in my novels, but going over-the-top doesn't work. I hope Mr. McDermott doesn't keep thinking "Bigger is Better," and goes back to his stronger writing -- his characters.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
