Story
Archaeologist Riley Smith has been obsessed with Helen of Troy since she was a small girl, trailing her professor father all over the world in search of the tomb of the world’s most beautiful woman. Professor Smith put his life on the line to prove that, instead of a myth, Helen had been a living, breathing queen. Riley seeks the help of forensic sculptor Eve Duncan, who has the unusual skills necessary to recreate the face that launched a thousand ships - revealing Helen’s true appearance for the first time in history.

Great idea, poor execution

I tried for seven chapters. Apologies to Ms.
Johansen, but with more work this wouldn't read like soap opera dialogue written by a high school student.

Story
Bunmi Laditan's hilarious, satirical guide to toddlerhood offers parents instant (and very welcome) comic relief - along with the very good news that It's Not Your Fault. Chapters cover the cost of raising a toddler, feeding your toddler, potty training, tantrums, how to manage the holidays, and "how not to die inside".

Cary Elwes made me crack up & cry while reminiscing about filming Princess Bride. Stories about Andre "the Giant" Rousimoff were the best!

Rollins always delivers thought provoking science/history based action adventures. It's a great bonus when he includes Military Working Dog Kane. Now readers can gain insight into the joy, fierceness & bravery of our 4 legged soldiers.

Story
Eons before the birth of the Roman Empire, there was a civilization dedicated to the sciences of Earth, sea, and sky. In the City of Light lived people who made dark plans to lay waste to their uncivilized neighbors using the very power of the planet itself. As the great science of their time was brought to bear on the invading hordes, hell was set loose on Earth. And the civilization of Atlantis disappeared in a suicidal storm of fire and water.… Now history threatens to repeat itself.

Good action/intrigue/history theory about what happened to Atlantis and where it's at now. Even a little romance thrown in. Something for everyone!
