"Three hundred years ago a pirate buried his bounty on a treacherous island off the coast of Maine. Now a high-tech treasure hunter is bringing his million-dollar recovery team to Ragged Island. But there is a problem: this island kills. A very thrilling story I liked from the beginning to the end."
"Either this or Reliquary is my favorite by these authors. It's a standalone, with no ties to the other books. It is loosely based on Oak Island in Nova Scotia. My favorite thrillers are all about pace and this one is perfect. I don't want to say to much and spoil it, but the book is unique and highly worth reading"
Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child draw inspiration from ancient pirate lore and secret societies to mold a story of a modern day treasure hunt.
Riptide is colored with interesting characters and washed with the beauty of a fictitious, alluring small costal town nestled on the shores of Maine. The surrounding waters are speckled with tiny islands, one in particular containing the hidden treasure of a cunning, vicious pirate.
Preston and Child have delved into human nature exploring greed, lust, love, friendship and pure determination. The characters are believable the setting is beautiful and mysterious and the writing is top notch.
If you have yet to read a Lincoln and Child novel your depriving yourself of a pure literary treat."
"Just because it got a 3 doesnt mean it is not good. I am a fair "grader". 1 being the absolute worst and a waste of you life you will never get back. 5 being a timeless classic, one that will be read by my chilrens, childrens, childrens childern! Understood? So 3 is actually a rip roaring good read!! Not unlike any other DP/LC novel, this one will keep you flipping pages to see what happens next. I must say that these 2 are by far my favorite authors and I no doubt will read any book they put out!"
