Synopsis

“The Dakota Cipher is a supple, elegant thriller that carries the reader triumphantly from one exciting climax to the next.”
—Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Jefferson KeyEthan Gage is a fearless adventurer who has crossed paths (and, sometimes, swords) with the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin—and whose unabashed derring do puts even Indiana Jones to shame. Now Gage is back for a third time in William Dietrich’s The Dakota Cipher, an ingenious page-turner that carries our hero to the American wilderness in search of an almost unthinkably powerful ancient artifact. No stranger to thrilling action himself, New York Times bestseller James Rollins, author of Black Order, The Last Oracle, and Altar of Eden, is a dedicated fan of Dietrich’s Ethan Gage novels, and proclaims that, “The Dakota Cipher should be read by anyone who loves adventure at its grandest.”

Goodreads review by Linda

I read this book after reading What is the What. I knew that this book would just be fluff, but I wanted something light after reading something so serious. I got light alright. The plot was so fanciful that I couldn’t believe for even a minute. On the upside, the little Frenchman was a funny charac......more

This is a fun historical fiction series, and I have book #4 ready to go, but I have one consistent complaint. As I have mentioned before, I am no prude, but Ethan Gage (the "hero" of these books) is a total man-whore...and his unnecessary sex scenes are borderline porn that stick out in these advent......more
