If you enjoy James Bond, you will enjoy this book. Main character is a detective that gets pulled in to a case while on the way from vacation. It is a thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Back on his game, this was a very enjoyable Bell adventure that dips into the early history of movie making and "talkies". No lags and a thoroughly enjoyable host of characters, this is why I like the Bell books so much.

Normally I devour Clive Cussler novels but I had a hard time getting in to this book. I thought the motivations behind the villain were a little weak and unbelievable.

This book was okay. I am told Clive Cussler is better than James Rollins. However, I do not agree. This was an okay read, but nowhere near the thrill of Rollins.

It was a good read, I am starting to like Isaac Bell's adventures the more I read of him. I look forward to his next adventure.

Another good book from Clive Cussler in the Isaac Bell series. This is always a nice change of pace from his normal, modern day hero to a hero that is leaving in the US in the early 1900's.

I really enjoy the series both from a look at the early 1900's and as a mystery. It is fun to read about the new airplane (previous Issac Bell book) and the film projector that has the capability to carry, amplify and synchronize sound to film. Follow Issac Bell through the turn of the century advancements as he tracks down the villain's that are up to no good! Throw in references to the Titanic, the early rumblings of WWI and early Hollywood, mix it all up and you have a very interesting backdrop for a good mystery.

My favourite so far of the Isaac Bell series. Less technical descriptions instead just concentrating on a good narrative
