Dark Passage

Rating:
Summary: west coast reader
Review: What I liked about Dark Passages was that the three characters who save the world were basically people although each one had a talent. One was an ex-nun who speaks an ancient Biblical language, another an architect, and the third an actor. The actor had been with the CIA but was not a trained agent. W.E.B. Griffin called them "unlikely heroes" who have to save the world. I am bored with super heroeswho are invincible killing machines or who have sophisticated weapons. Having three reasonably ordinary people deal with the ancient world and evil, was interesting. I also liked the idea that they had to rely upon their wits and not modern weapons. The way the ancient world was described was interesting. It was well researched. I highly recommend the book.
