In southeast Turkey where the heads of the four main rivers once met, a magnificent temple created 14,000 years ago is discovered beneath the desert floor. Believed to have been created by lost technology, it is quickly determined by a team of archeologists to be the centerpiece of Eden, a once illustrious civilization and the cradle of mankind. But what if Eden is not the Paradise texts make it out to be? What if it held dark secrets and unholy terrors instead? As Senior Archeologist Alyssa Moore and her team of experts discover the truth of man’s beginning, she realizes that the secrets of man’s true origins lie within the sacred tombs inside the temple. But the journey for the truth is not without its dangers or pitfalls . . . Something walks the warrens within.

. . . fall prey to numerous faux-pas with language. Who wouldn't enjoy a novel involving a beautiful, intelligent, perceptive young woman archaeologist who's just lost her famous mentor and father as he found the mythical Eden. There's also a resourceful, struggling mature man who has lost his wife to over-dedication to his career. And he's been sent by the Pope, no less, to assassinate this young woman! And then there are the team of military mercenaries brought in to protect the ruthless multi-billionaire narcissist who's trying to manipulate everything so he can recover (read 'steal') all the best artifacts from the find. Who wouldn't want to read that book? I looked forward to it, but then there were in every chapter, sentences like this, "Her chin became gelatinous as her eyes moistened." Gelatinous? Really? Did the writer just mean her chin trembled? And then there's ". .. a person who never failed to cast a smile . . ." and "it's the only ring that moves in a clockwork direction." Why not 'clockwise?' And " . .. allow me to see what truly lie beyond." "Lay!! " And "Her eyes were quick to enamor until she saw the . . . collar." "Enamor?" Eyes can't be enamored, and enamored is an adjective in nearly every usage. By this time I'd truly run out of patience with the awkwardness of phrasing, word choices, and even verb tenses found on nearly every page! Were we writing with a thesaurus full of never-before-encountered larger words by our side? Is there an editor in the house?Product details

The Crypts of Eden The Eden Trilogy Book 1 edition by Rick Jones Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
While this book does have some pretty good strengths well done pacing, interesting characters, an excellent premise, it suffers from some pretty awful problems. Mainly, the characters exhibit moments of monumental, stunning stupidity and the villains are cartoon characters. Not literally. However, they are so over the top, such one dimensional creations, they often reminded me of cartoons villains. I kept expecting one to twirl his mustache like Snidely Whiplash. Several times I had to walk away from the book as smooth pacing was interrupted by moments of cartoonish villainy or the heroes doing something equally cartoonishly stupid. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but the weaknesses were too much for me to bump it to a 4 star. I do plan on purchasing another book by the author. There's alot here to like. Hopefully that will stay and the cartoons will leave.
This is by far, one of the worst books I've read in a long time. Although it started ok for the first half f of the book., the second half was a horrible version of an Indian Jones movie. Complete with a ridiculous chase through tombs and even more ridiculous riddles. All the while being hunted by massive lizards…in which the author repeatedl refers to their olfactory senses (10 times in 13 straight chapters. Such lazy writing would have given me an F in any o.f my English classes. Dumb characters and a stupid plot
The Crypts of Eden is an archaeological adventure thriller. This is the first book in a new series, The Eden Saga, by Rick Jones. I’m looking forward to more in this series.
How much have you thought about Eden? Have you wondered where it is, if it even exists? Archaeologists have found a temple they believe to be 14,000 years old. They also believe it is in the spot where Eden was said to be. A team goes to investigate and only one person makes it out alive. Alyssa Moore is going to take another team into the temple. She has to. Her father was the leader of the first team and died trying to prove his theory. She is determined to fulfill her father’s dream of finding Eden.
When news of the find reaches the world it draws the interest of the Vatican. The Pope has secrets to hide and one of the secrets has to do with this temple. He has a tough decision to make. The news also reaches the ears of one Obsidian Hall (yes, really), the man secretly funding the dig. He is a rich man with a great interest in archaeological items of value. He lives on a huge yacht where he keeps his collection. Hiring some mercenaries he insinuates himself and his mercs into the 2nd team.
The temple is a marvelous wonder of precise measurements and geometric shapes, and etchings on all the well buffed walls. But there are also hidden dangers, puzzles to solve and something in the dark hunting them.
I enjoyed this story. It moves along and quickly captures the interest of the reader. The puzzles are presented in such a way that the reader has the opportunity to try to figure out the answers before our intrepid explorers give us the answer. I actually believe I identified with the Vatican representative which is kind of weird because I’ve in no way had the experiences he has had. I recommend this book to those who like adventure, thrills, and archaeology.
.The idea this book explored really intrigued me, so I snapped it up based on the summary. The book turned out to be a clunker because the author couldn't resist throwing everything at the story. When you have a good idea you don't need to add in reclusive anti-social billionaires, weird mercenaries, faceless Turks wearing red away team shirts, weird lizards, secret Vatican hit squads, and all the other crap that infested the tale.
I also noticed that the author thinks just piling explosives on top of something without any tamping will destroy it, that helicopters can't land on rough or uneven ground, and that someone who can decipher cuneiform can also decipher a language from 10,000 years before it was used. Apparently the thought was that languages never change, wrong!
Enormously disappointing book!
