If you thought Peretti couldn't get better....HA! (Rapha), Jan 30 2003
It's Frank Peretti's brilliant novel writing skills...condensed! It's a super-cool family of archeologists--minus a mother--who investigate phenomena in the spirit of Indiana Jones, only with a Christian perspective.The Coopers are on a nice, run-of-the-mill, routine dig in Israel, when they uncover a huge pit. Then one of their crew falls - or is pulled - down, and never seen again. After being captured by the creepy Yahrrim, the local tribesmen who live in fear of their god, meeting their prophetess, Marah, and encountering a rough and mysterious desert rogue they are finally forced to enter. . .The Tombs of Anak. Riddles, action, suspense, and coolness are loaded to the gills in this book, just great for young people who want to read some cool stuff without the junk and gore of Illinois Jones, or whatever. And yes, there is Christian material in these books, as another reviewer so angrily stated. Refreshing if you ask me. Parental warnings: Lots of creepy stuff in this book...the Yahrrim are scary - when we first meet them, they're in the middle of an underground ritual - and lots of other scary things happen in the book. I read them when I was younger, and I thought they were cool. And I never needed the Arkansas Jones movies!
