Track of the Scorpion

Nicolette Scott Mystery, Book 1

De: Robert R. Irvine

Narrado por: Angela Brazil

Nicolette Scott is an archaeologist with an unusual specialty, the recent past, and an even odder passion: Uncovering lost airplanes. But ancient civilizations are where the funding is, and the New Mexico badlands are where her father is, so Nick bides her time on a dig of prehistoric Anasazi dwellings. When a prospector brings word of his unexpected find - an airplane buried in the shifting sands of the desert - Nick is eager to investigate.

What she finds is an American B-17 bomber, shot down over friendly territory, its long-dead crew still inside. As Nick tries to trace the warplane's origins and crew, she soon realizes she's triggered a massive cover-up. Within days the newspaper that reported her discovery has retracted its story, the B-17 itself has disappeared, Nick's career is in serious jeopardy, and people who saw the plane are starting to die. It will take every survival instinct Nick has learned in the brutal desert to keep her from being the next.

Ended too soon

This well plotted adventure story was worth reading. However I was frustrated by the deaths of so many characters. The ending was dramatic but not satisfying. There were too many unresolved story lines and too many story lines were resolved by death

i love this book but the narrator stinks

the person reading this sounds like an ai voice and this isn't the original recording
