Engaging ... Another pleasure afforded by the book is watching decipherers at work ... An engrossing reminder that some of the most exhilarating adventures of all can be had by puzzle-solvers.
Hammer makes this true story as exciting as any work of fiction; this is no dry recitation of events, but a lively, suspense-filled story of adventurers and their quest to be the first to unlock the hidden rooms of history. Quite simply a wonderful book.
