Review:
Will Adams serves up yet another fine helping of adventure, intrigue and history. The pace of the book will cause readers to miss appointments, family occasions and even meals as you just have to know what happens next. The plot is a fairly straightforward old fashioned race to find someone in distress while being pursued by bad guys. Knox is still mentally recovering from the events of his last adventure and this gives Adams a chance to play with his emotions in a new way. Rebecca is a take-no-nonsense character and there are some wonderful exchanges between the two. The Georgian hoods disappointed me slightly as they were not up to the standards set by previous characters Knox has had to face. When all is said and done, The Eden Legacy is a welcome addition to the Daniel Knox series of adventures and Adams has again given me some great entertainment.
