    About this ebook

    Rumors of the discovery of Solomon's Jar—in which the biblical King Solomon bound the world's demons after using them to build his temple in Jerusalem—are followed with interest by Annja Creed. An archaeologist intrigued by the arcane, Annja pursues the truth about the vessel and its ancient origins.



    Her search leads her to a confrontation with a London cult driven by visions of a new world order; and a religious zealot fueled by the insatiable desire for glory. Across the sands of the Middle East to the jungles of Brazil, Annja embarks on a relentless chase to stop humanity's most unfathomable secrets from reshaping the modern world.

      Annja Creed is an incredible force. Drama and non-stop action. A modern day female Indiana Jones.

      Ugh! This was awful! Terrible writing, editing or both. No continuity, it jumped from locale to locale & from clue to clue without much if any explanation, it was so hard to folllow. Then bam! Right near the end a tryst without any sexual tension or much of an attraction for the first 3/4 of the book! Really? Such a disappointment after the first book. I'm going to read #3 & the decide whether to finish this series or not.

      The second story in the Rogue Angel series. Annja Creed is trying to find Solomon's Jar before someone else does. Things have conspired to make it appear that she's one of the bad guys however she has to keep hunting the jar to ensure that it doesn't get into the hands of the wrong people. She also discovers some problems with power.I find this series quite readable and great fun but there's nothing resembling deep here.
    • 4/5
      Archer continues the Rogue Angel series with the stereotypical strong female protagonist and her adventures in archeology. My main memory of this book, 24 hours after finishing it, is that i kept saying to myself 'if Annja is described as "lithe" one more time, i may vomit.'Aside from that, Solomon's Jar is still not as good as Destiny. The scene changes are jarring, Annja vanishes from one continent and appears on another with no explanation of how, why, or when she departed or arrived. Despite calling Roux her mentor, he hardly appears in the book at all. Even the intentionally descriptive paragraphs were overly saturated with adjectives, leaving the remainder simply sodden with them, cluttering the book. The action was more outlandish, and there are only so many times in one book that a reader can willingly let the protagonist act on her possibly divinely inspired 'feelings' and 'insights.'I don't know how Archer will manage to keep the readers from lapsing out of their temporary suspension of disbelief before the end of the third book, and so far this series has at least five books. The topics of good deeds vs. good intentions crops up a few times, and will clearly be a theme through the rest of the series, but that alone can't hold it together.And if Annja is described as 'lithe' as many times in book three as she was in book two, i think i might vomit.
    • 4/5
      While less enjoyable than the first book, this book did delve more deeply into the issue of what Annja is and what her powers relate to. The introduction of biblical/Jewish mythology and legend as well as the constant travel sort of numbed the story a bit. I felt a little too bogged down in everything that was going on, and the issue brought up about the incident in Tel Aviv sort of left me with a slightly sour taste in my mouth. I'd like some proof the Annja does believe that good transcendes religion rather than the Christians were right.
