In Prisoner’s Gold, we join our treasure hunters several months after the last mission…each recovering in their own way from the traumatic events in Alexandria. Chris Kuzneski is sending the team on a hunt for Marco Polo’s lost treasure.
As the team follows first-hand accounts of Polo’s travels, they are attacked and hunted by hostile forces that are intent on keeping the national treasures in China. Often it seems that the hostile forces are one step ahead of the team – is there a mole?
This is the third book in The Hunters series by Chris Kuzneski. The first book was rough; the second was better and this third one is the best so far. Kuzneski now has the team working as the professionals they are. There is a better sense of camaraderie and the team has begun to gel. One problem with this book is that it seems to have been written with the intention of turning it into a film (Kuzneski apparently is working with the studio to cast and produce these books) so there is a lot of “visual” action vs deduction and consideration. (more Indiana Jones than National Treasure).
