Eagle of the Empire is an action-packed tale of family, friendship, and fantastic historical secrets. Everyone adores a hopeful team of heroes, as well as a worthy cause, and this book provides both in spades.
Two of my favorite aspects of this book are the importance put on family and the life brought to the tale of a famed hidden legion of Roman fighters. While both the sibling bond and the exploration of a lost piece of history are both used in many stories, Eagle of the Empire gives the concepts a fresh coat of paint. For more details, you’ll have to read the book.

Indiana Jones (Adam Hunter) is back. This time in Egypt. After the first book, the Eagle of the Empire, the team at the British museum enter a quest in an unknown pyramid in Egypt which is surrounded by an unknown force. There are other teams from other countries as well, which are in the pyramid plagued with ancient curses. There is love between Gods and rivalry, there are booby traps, evil spells and thrills to keep the readers on the edge of their seats. I love mythology and this genre coupled with mystery, suspense, thrill is always a pleasure to read. I loved reading the first book and the impression continues. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters Book 2) by Martin Ferguson – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five Stars
Curse of the Sands is a book to get lost in. I found this story to be enthralling and adventurous. There was no part od the story that I did not enjoy. Even the characters I didn’t like where enjoyable because they were written so well. This author really knows how to capture your attention and deliver the unexpected. I almost felt like I was reading two different stories. One of the past and the other the present. I don’t think that’s an easy thing to accomplish but the author pulls it off well. Adam is my favorite character so far. He gives off cocky vibes but is really insecure about his worth. I really found the theme of the book intriguing. Ancient Egypt! Long lost history filled with mystery, curses, traps and legends. I couldn’t help but to fly through this book. Definitely worthy of a second read.

I give Eagle of the Empire (Relic Hunters) by Martin Ferguson, 5 stars.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I was blown away. Since the character was is still a teen, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But this book is truly for all ages. The author takes the idea of the Indiana Jones movies and makes his on take on the action/adventure genre. There is also some supernatural thrown in for good measure.
The cast of characters is exceptional too. They are all have their own unique personalities and I quickly came to love each and every good guy. They felt so real, even the bad guys. I felt like I was thrown in this story right there with them.
I could not put the book down and highly recommend this book to anyone who likes stories of adventure with a wonderful story and great characters.

I give Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters), 5 stars. **This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**
This book pics up after book 1 and puts the crew on a brand new adventure. It is just as good as the first, if not better. We learn much more about everyone on the team, as well as some new characters. There are more to love, as well as some new ones to hate.
Then there is the story. While still an adventure with supernatural tones, we are now into Egyptian mythology and history. This book, just like the first, actually has two complete stories in it — one of the past and one set in the present. While other books flash back to the past to tell another story, the author does this so well, it could easily be two different books. I was so enthralled by both stories.
This story and the characters were so captivating, I could not put the book down. If you are a fan of action/adventure with a wonderful story and characters, this book and series are for you.

I have read many stories that involve an ancient tomb, a museum employee, a group of friends, and/or the central battle of Good vs. Evil, but Curse of the Sands is written in such a way that all of these components have come together to create an entirely new page turner that, even though it’s a sequel, can stand alone.
Many of the YA books today involve dystopian worlds for the main characters to overcome, but this book takes well-used plot points and locations of our current world and puts a fresh spin on it, all while keeping the reader on their toes.
One of my favorite aspects of this book is that it encourages young people to do many things whose importance has fallen by the wayside lately, including going outside, recognizing the value of teams and friendships, and striving to keep learning. It allows for hope to blossom for future generations, all while keeping them guessing until the very end.

There is very little of Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters Book 2) by Martin Ferguson, that is not pure action. Either something catastrophic is currently happening or it is imminent. I love it. Not only is this story nonstop action but there is even a little light romance all lightly done and in very good taste. But what I love, love, love the most about the Relic Hunters books is that they challenge my knowledge of history. I find that every time I read one, I am inspired to research the theme of the book and find out the truths the story is based on. This particular one…Pharaohs and Egypt. What could be better than that?!

Curse of the Sands by Martin Ferguson is the second book in the Relic Hunters series and was a great sequel to this series! I absolutely loved reading this novel, and had trouble putting it down once I started reading. The characters were great, including the new ones introduced, and the storyline to me was better than the one in the first book. I was instantly enthralled with this story from the first chapter, and it just got more interesting the further I read. I love the historical concept, even though it’s a fiction novel, and it just made the story even more interesting. I can’t wait to read the next installment to this series!

When a perfectly preserved German U-Boat from World War II is discovered, the last thing the Relic Hunters expect to find are artefacts that were stolen by Hitler and thought to be lost to the world forever.
What should be a routine excavation quickly turns into a deadly chase in the pursuit of Europe’s stolen relics. Ghosts from their past return to haunt Adam and his team and in their journey they discover the terrifying truth of Hitler’s lust for power.
Trapped in the depths and darkness of a nightmare the world has forgotten, the Relic Hunters are forced to draw upon all their skills and experience to survive. Surrounded by enemies, Adam and his friends face no choice but to fight if they are to escape the War of the Damned.
Martin Ferguson – I live in Norwich, England and am currently working on the young adult adventure and historical series ‘Relic Hunters’. Inspired by the myths and legends my parents told me as a boy and with the help of my ever-suffering wife, a teacher and history graduate, ‘Eagle of the Empire’ was the first entry in the ‘Relic Hunters’ series.
When not writing, I am training or at least planning my next challenge. Following a serious knee injury, I was told by surgeons never to run or play sports again. Stubborn and reckless, much like the characters in my writing, I have not listened and have completed the Three Peaks Challenge, the Great North Run, the Greater Manchester Marathon and the London Marathon.

I have read a couple of books from this author and I loved this one just as much. This is the second book of the Relic Hunters series. I love a good young adult story but this author exceeded all my expectations. This book has it all mystery, suspense, and adventure. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this addictive story.

Curse Of The Sands is the second book in the relic hunter series, an amazing addition! Definitely read this series in order, it only gets better the more you read.

I absolutely love Martin’s work and can’t wait to read more of it!

This is my second time reading from this author. The action immediately transcends on the reader as we follow the team who has set out to help in Egypt. I love where the action takes us in this ancient land but also to uncover so much mystery and around the world with rivals who are out to get them which takes us on a quest with them. This makes it fun for the reader to travel with the gang.

In this to the life of Adam and the team of hunters he works with, they embark on a mission to Egypt where something has been unearthed during some extreme storms and sandstorms in the centre of the desert, they are to go after a request from the Egyptian Government was sent worldwide for help with uncovering the secrets within.
The events begin with Abdul where his family are hiding in the basement from the storm which he is risking his life to observe on the roof of his home. There is thunder, there are sand filled winds which are strong enough to blind, choke and tear through the skin, as well as lightning which is striking in the same place on the sand. As he watches, he sees the sands part to reveal a pyramid long lost in myth and long forgotten.
We next see Adam on a mission in Colorado with his team, where he is sent in to do recon and something goes wrong, a contaminant is released and he abandons his team to save the local populace. He does this, however not in the way that he expected and ends up in a jail cell where his boss Charles has to pull a lot of strings to get him out.
When he is back home and settling back into life, a message comes through from Charles that they are needed in Egypt and that they are being teamed up with Bravo and Charlie teams as well, this is a surprising turn of events and this will not be the last of them either. They travel to Egypt where the other teams join them and they are debriefed about what they will be doing there, as well as what happened to the other Egyptian team who went into the pyramid first.
As they all prepare to go in, they have no idea of what they are walking into, until they come to their first experiences, but will they be able to get past all of the pitfalls, illusions and traps and figure out who is buried there and why they are so well protected?
This rip roaring adventure will keep you guessing until the end and take you on an adventure you won’t want to put down.

This is the second book in the Relic Hunters series. This fantasy book in a young adult fashion. I enjoyed this book from the first page to the last page. The characters are fully developed and fun. The story is engaging and is set in Egypt. In this adventure, a sand storm has played havoc in a pyramid in Egypt. The team explores the pyramid but what they do not know is how much trouble they are in because they are disturbing the dead and someone will have to pay for that. I highly recommend this story to see the race against the evil that is coming for them.

This is the second book in the Relic Hunters series and wow what a book. The adventure continues with Adam Hunter and his fellow team mates from the British Museum who are brought in to help in Egypt where a pyramid has been uncovered that has never been found before.
So the team embark on the journey to discover who or what the pyramid belongs to. Is it hiding treasures from ancient Egypt or is it just one maze of deadly traps and dangerous almost deadly experiences.
Why would all this protection be in place for nothing at all? Is it protecting something special or is it all a disguise to fool people?
The story is gripping and I love how it flips from ancient Egypt times to present day to help build the story and bring it all together.

The author has created a story that is highly entertaining and felt like is action packed and fast paced from the start.

This is a great book and definitely worth your time.

Curse of the Sands (Relic Hunters book 2) by Martin Ferguson is a YA adventure story and sees the gang back together on another mission risking life and limb. As with the first book I love the thrills and mystery, the history and gathering the pieces and putting a puzzle together. Martins world building and easy writing style makes for a thrilling and enthralling read. Again, as with the first book the story is fast paced and gets the heart pumping. I was so engrossed in it that time got away from me. If you love the Librarians, Indiana Jones etc you are gonna love this series. YA or not you will thoroughly enjoy it too.

This YA fantasy/adventure is action packed from start to finish. Ferguson continues this series in a riveting way and keeps on pace with what was established in book one. The storyline is complete and detailed and is best appreciated in context of the series as a whole. I found this to be another fascinating and fun read and look forward to seeing where the series takes the reader.

Curse of the Sands is the second book in the Relic Hunters series. The book is action packed and Adam Hunter, a teenager who’s working for the British Museum, is heading into a ski town. This town in Colorado is about to be destroyed. Adam is not listening to sound advice from his confidants. Instead he starts going towards the trouble…
Honestly, this series is amazing and the author is really good at painting the picture and putting you into the book. The series is action packed and keeps you moving along. You won’t regret reading these books.

Curse Of the Sands is the second book in the Relic Hunters series by Martin Ferguson. Let me start by saying that this book would make a great movie/TV series. This is an intriguing YA adventure- with action, mystery, danger, historical details, Relic Hunters, wonderful quirky characters, good vs evil, myths, legends, and more. As I mentioned after reading the first book, the story/series has everything you need to make it an enthralling read, and would make a great movie, or exciting adventure game for PC, Xbox, PlayStation etc. This story has us setting off on an adventure with the relic hunters as an ancient pyramid is uncovered in Egypt. As expected, danger is ever present problem wherever the team happen to be. What unfolds makes for an exciting read. Looking forward to more adventures with the Relic Hunters.

The characters are connectable and made the story easy to read. They kept the story engaging and interesting. They pulled me in from the beginning. A sand storm unveils a lost pyramid but what Adam and his team don’t expect is the evil that wants revenge for disturbing the dead. Who will win this race against time? I really enjoyed this story and the action it brought. I highly recommend this book. Find out what happens to Adam and his team.

When a violent sandstorm in Egypt unearths a long-forgotten pyramid, Adam Hunter and his team from the British Museum are brought in to help. Together they will face rival teams from around the globe in a race against time to discover the secrets and treasures hidden inside.
Deadly traps and mind-bending illusions thwart them at every turn, but worse awaits in the darkness. An evil deep within the tombs that will stop at nothing to punish those who dare disturb their honoured dead.
As the plagues of the Egyptian gods escape the desert, and cities begin to crumble, the Hunter brothers must stop the Curse of the Sands at any cost if they are to save those closest to them.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and it blew my mind. I can see this book as a movie or a mini series. This book is the first book in the new Relic Hunters series. This was a great start to an awesome series. These characters drew me into the story right away and I could not put the book down until I finished it. This book is a young adult but I really enjoyed the adventure that this author brought me on. I can’t wait to see what is next for these amazing characters.

Although it seems that Eagle of the Empire (Relic Hunters) by Martin Ferguson is a young adult book, I enjoyed it a great deal. I love history and I especially enjoy any fiction book that motivates me to do some further research. The Ninth Legion of Rome provided many rabbit holes for me to trot down. The characters in the story are all strong and intriguing with strong leads into more revelations of each character in the next book. This is a series I will be watching.

A great first book in a series I can’t wait to read more!
Adam Hunter, a teenager, finds out his older brother Matt is missing. The people who tell him about his brother’s disappearance, are people his brother had never mentioned. But they show him Matt’s journal which he can’t believe isn’t in Matt’s hands, he rarely lets it out of his sight! This prompts Adam to start searching for Matt. What else Is a younger brother to do?
This is a great YA book full of adventure. I know I would have loved a book like this when I was a teen. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

At the onset, let me begin by saying this book reminded me of Indiana Jones movie series. It has so many elements in common with the movies, the suspense, the thrilling action, the adrenaline rush and the historic mystic element attached to it. Adam Hunter is in search of his brother, who has gone missing searching for a historic relic, which dates back to the times of Marcus Aurelius, one of the five good emperors and the last emperor to rule over a Roman era which bestowed peace and stability to the empire. In order to find his brother, Adam has to search for the relic. Adam journeys with few of his quirky friends in British Museum from London to Scotland and from there the story takes us to the quest of the Eagle relic of ancient Rome. But it so happens that they are not the only one in search of the relic, they have an opponent with evil intentions whose eyes are set on the relic. It is the race of time for Adam and his friends against this evil adversary to get their hands on the relic. The book keeps the reader on the edge of your seat till the very end. It is Young Adult fantasy but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn’t let go of the book and finished it in one shot! Highly recommended!
