City of Gold by Anton Gill
Synopsis :
A rumour is going around the world that a vast source of gold has been discovered, if it's true it could mean the downfall of the US dominance over the financial world.
An international dealer in antique maps flies in to conclude the deal of his life. But at the meeting with his mysterious principals, he is double-crossed and murdered.
In New York INTERSEC Section 15 have been tasked by the US Treasury to find the gold and secure it for the US. But, for Jack Marlow and his team, the race to find the gold soon turns into a race to stay alive.
This is what I say :
Today is the start of the third phase of MCO in the country. This is a book I read prior to MCO but due to many reasons I only have the time to have the review posted.
There a bit of everything in this book. There's a bit of Indiana Jones vibe, a bit of Davinci Code vibe, a bit of spy spy vibe...hahah...it is very mesh up and can be said quite mess up too.
The story told in current time was alternate in chapters with story of olden time starting from Sir Walter Releigh right up to WW2. That is why it is pretty mesh up. For the story told for present time, the main character Jack Marlow vibes a bit Jason Bourne and a bit Jack Reacher but no individual character that is worth mentioning.
I can't say totally a waste of time but it could have been so much better.
And yes, the title is City of Gold.
