The other two were suspense thrillers with bizarre, science-fictiolike twists, but The Codex is a relatively straight forward adventure novel with no strange beings, but plenty of odd personalities.

In a video recording, he issues a challenge to his find his tomb and they sons can have his art collection. Phillip is oldest of the three, a university art history profes- sor with a fake English accent and pompous attitude. Vernon is a ieft-ovhippie who is easily suckered, and Tom is a veterinarian practicing on the Navajo Reservation and living in Bluff. They havent agreed on anything for years. As the story unfolds each of the sons decides to independently search for Maxwells tomb, which turns out to be in a very remote part of Honduras. Each teams up with another person, who may or may not have their best interests at heart. It is a story of jungles er and swamps, illusive native people, a hidden Mayan city, betrayal, and greed. The author does a good job painting word pictures of jungle miseries and odd personalities, and provides all the major parts for a good story a tinge of mystery, skeletons in the closet, adventure, danger, and reconciliation. I doubt it will stand the test of time as one of Americas great novels, but it will entertain. It was just the right companion for a recent day trip to central Utahs Castle Valley and the tiny hamlet of Clawson. |
