AN INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY.
A MERCILESS FOE.
A DEADLY RACE FOR THE TRUTH.
Off a remote stretch of the Indonesian coast, archaeologist Nina Wilde has made an astounding discovery: an artifact that will rewrite everything that’s known about human history. But before she can return to tell the world of her find, her ship is brutally attacked, her crew is ruthlessly murdered, and the artifact is stolen. Someone wants this secret to stay hidden—and will do anything to keep it that way.
From the depths of the ocean to the Australian outback to the halls of the United Nations, Nina and her fiancé, ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase, embark on a quest to stop the all-powerful Covenant of Genesis, a clandestine group sworn to keep Nina’s discovery a secret. Nina and Eddie have faced tough adversaries before, but the relentless Covenant is always two steps ahead of them—and more than willing to kill again. Who will be the first to expose the truth—and claim the most valuable archaeological prize of all time?
Enter The Covenant of Genesis
And discover an action-packed thrill ride that will keep you reading long into the night!

From Publishers Weekly
Archeological danger duo Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase, now engaged to be married, dodge bullets in pursuit of another fabled object in their fourth adventure (after 2010's The Secret of Excalibur). Nina isn't actually certain what she's looking for, but she knows the vastly powerful, resourceful, and mysterious consortium known as the Covenant of Genesis wants to destroy it, which provides incentive enough for her to disregard expense, ethics, and personal safety while pursuing it. She and Eddie escape marauding henchmen seeking to destroy their entire crew and all evidence of an ancient stone tablet they found in Indonesia, only to be attacked back at Nina's New York office. They immediately commence an intercontinental game of hunt and be hunted, cracking heads, wise, and the occasional Indiana Jones–style whip amid plenty of action and gore. (May)

Another thrilling adventure with Nina & Eddie!
By ChibiNeko
For those who are wondering whether or not to get this book from the UK (since as of this review it's not available in the US), it is worth the time & money to get it from eBay or from a source of your choosing. While I will admit that I didn't enjoy this as much as I did the previous ones, it's still well worth buying. And again, it'd make for one heck of a movie or tv show.
This volume finds Nina in some hot water. Not only was she attacked at the scene of another huge discovery, but all of the evidence from the scene was seemingly destroyed. She was also hoping to become the director of her group but has discovered that one of her biggest rivals has been given the position instead. Now she's been suspended without pay as she faces an inquiry into her past actions. Meanwhile Eddie has to go to Guantanamo Bay (where his ex-Sophia was jailed shortly after the events in `The Tomb of Hercules') & collect his now deceased wife's belongings. After the discovery of a memory card containing the only remaining clues to another undiscovered treasure, Nina & Eddie figure that they've got nothing to lose.
All things considered, a lot goes on in this book. Not only do you have the reemergence of a threat, but you also have President Dalton beginning his attempts to get the revenge that he'd promised previously in the series. On top of all of that, the historical treasure du jour promises to be something of biblical proportions. All in all, it should make for a spectacular read. I just didn't get into this one as much as I did the previous ones for some reason. I'm starting to think that it might be partially because this is pretty much the same formula as the previous novels.
Luckily a bit of the dynamic is changing. I liked that Nina is actually starting to be called out on some of her actions in the previous books via her rival & throughout the book. Yes, Nina is the good guy, but she also causes quite a bit of collateral damage in the form of coworker deaths. At some point over four books it kind of needs to be addressed in some form since it is such a change from her initial state. This book had a very transitional feel to it- I have a feeling that I'll find some things being different in the next book because of the events in this one- and those changes will make for an interesting new direction!
Bottom line- I really liked this book. It's not the strongest of McDermott's books so far, but it's still highly enjoyable. If you've liked his previous books, you'll like this one. I just recommend that any new readers start from the beginning as this book finds many previous plot lines coming to fruition.

Does what it says on the tin
By Nick Brett
Let me summarise the plot for you:
Action - banter/witty quip - betrayal/twist - change location. repeat.
It's really that simple and if you scratch away at any aspect of the plot then it is more full of holes then a tramp's socks.
Archaeologist Nina and her ex-SAS (of course!!) boyfriend Eddie have the habit of digging up all sorts of old lost relics and treasures. Not little ones, I mean things like Atlantis and Hercules' Sword. In this, their fourth adventure, they discover evidence of a civilisation that pre-dates known history. These types of plot obviously require a mega rich bad guy or an evil secret society, and in this case we get the secret society option.
Of course the secret society (yes, of course it is called The Covenant of Genesis) is incredibly powerful and wants to erase all evidence of the civilisation. So...
Action - banter/witty quip - betrayal/twist - change location. repeat. For about 600 pages.
I saw it very much like an Indianna Jones film, very fast moving with loads of action and banter, but all gloss and no substence. The action is quite violent and tongue in cheek, and some of the one liners and comments delivered by Eddie can be quite amusing. Think of the Roger Moore James Bond, nobody can be despatched without a quip!
But it doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. It tries to add a bit of fun to the more traditional search for ancient relics/treasure stories that Dan Brown sadly generated, but manages to maintain it's standards and expectations unlike recent efforts from the likes of Matthew Reilly.
Harmless fun, but you will forget the entire thing a day after you finish it. Ideal for aeroplanes and the beach.

Once again, non-stop action and creativity propel this formula novel F-O-R-W-A-R-D
By Jeff Edwards
It doesn't take long once you begin an Andy McDermott novel before the action starts--and once in motion, as we all remember from science--an object in motion tends to STAY in motion...and in the capable hands of Mr. McDermott, it RARELY lets up...EVER. The only author I can think of that stacks up favorably action-wise is Matthew Reilly--and believe me when I say a Reilly novel packs in more action in 100 pages than you'll find in ALL of Mr. McDermott's books COMBINED...but that's a debate for another review (but its TRUE). Long story short: you'll find a LOT of Indiana Jones-type adventure and action within the pages of anything by Andy McDermott.
Some criticise these books because they follow a 'pattern' or 'formula'...which it DOES, almost to a fault--almost. I am perfectly fine with formulaic novels, really I am. Clive Cussler has followed that plan for 40 years to absolutely amazing success, and he isn't the only author to do so--nor will he be the last. One may wonder why it is that the main characters, Nina and Eddie manage to pretty much ALWAYS be dead-center of some near international incident which in some way or another will (eventually) change events as we know it for almost all citizens of planet earth--but thats what happens, book after entertaining book. Again, if you are put off by novels that utilize formula's, you may wanna give this one a pass...otherwise, sit back and buckle-in for a thrillfest that is nothing if not FUN.
Right off the coast of Indonesia, an amazing discovery is made: evidence of a civilization that pre-dates ANY previous known culture by as much as 100,000 YEARS. Big news indeed. Funny thing about Nina and her discoveries, they seem to almost ALWAYS be known in advance by SOME shadow organization, group or individual--who as part of the 'formula' that continues here, wants to keep the discovery either for themselves or out of the hands of ANYONE else entirely. While I am not a globe-trotting individual, thanks to Andy McDermott, I certainly feel like I am as each of his books takes us to amazing locations. From the hottest desert to the coldest frozen areas of the earth, one thing you cannot say about these novels: they don't sit quietly, nor do they play well with others. I cite as an example the expenditure of ammunition, 'nuff said. While we can to some degree predict what will happen next, we don't necessarily know the full details about what that twist will take (read and you'll understand). Why is it this group wants to keep Nina's incredible discovery not just secret, but erased from existence? Finding out what each 'secret' happens to be is all part of the action-oriented journey we get to undertake alongside Nina & Eddie. The humor exhibited by Eddie--sometimes during extreme firefights--reminds me of Schwarzenegger's short quips during his acting days. Some may be put off by this show of inappropriate humor, but personally I LOVE it...it reminds me of, well, me. NOT that I find myself in even remotely similar situation, but I DO find that I spout out spontaneous comments (not necessarily as funny, though) when many feel they do not exactly fit during the moment. Oh well, my bad.
Sometimes I wonder what else IS there for Nina to discover next time around? I suppose it doesn't matter, because whatever it is, you can expect that I'll have it and read it the day it hits store shelves. While I wouldn't place Andy McDermott in the same echelon of writers as say some who write literature, but I kinda have the feeling that he isn't TRYING to be that kind of author--which I can appreciate and admire. Oprah can tell us forever what books stretch our imagination and enlighten our souls, but guess what? Almost all of that is pure drivel if you ask me. I prefer to be entertained by what I like to refer to as Fine Brain Candy, and were Andy McDermott's novels sold in a candy store, it'd be some of the more expensive available. You may disagree, and many probably will...but as I like to remind people: Opinions Vary. I LIKE these books, and while overall I wouldn't place The Covenant of Genesis as good as Excalibur (my favorite of his--so far) it is most definitely a worthy addition to his growing list of fun, adventure-filled action tales...and yes, I DO plan on reading the next installment...I can hardly wait.
