Posting
=======

Since this book ripped as 99 files / CD, rather than post nearly 1000 files, I
have combined the tracks into disk files by use of zero compression of my zip
program. To extract all the tracks in the original format, change the file
extension to zip and use your unzip utility. I made spot checks of the files and
didn't pick up on any problems.

In the event of a bad post, I'm easy if the par files aren't enough and probably
will do a repost. Enjoy

Book Description
================

From Publishers Weekly
An especially far-fetched plot and unconvincing dialogue mar this
romantic thriller, set primarily in Afghanistan and Russia, from
bestseller Johansen (Dark Summer). Emily Hudson, a U.N. artifacts
expert, is trying to track down a vicious criminal who may have stolen
Zelov's hammer. Hidden inside the old mallet is a treasure map to the
long-lost riches of Russia's assassinated Romanov family. Helping Hudson
is a rough-and-ready CIA tracker, whose physical charms prove
irresistible to the usually proud and independent Hudson. As is
Johansen's wont, the romance competes head-to-head with the chase, with
annoying effect. Love scenes and hokey romantic dialogue closely follow
or precede those of perilous action. On one page, Hudson will be steely
and adept, then, on the next, fragile and feeble. By the time the plot
hits the homestretch, many readers will have a hard time taking it
seriously. 650,000 first printing. (Apr.) Copyright c Reed Business

From Booklist
The incomparable treasures of the Romanovs continue to provide an
irresistible lure to writers of action-adventure thrillers, and the
prolific Johansen joins in, seeking fictional riches yet to be mined
from the imperial family's massive and, in this instance, missing
wealth. Charged with the mission of rescuing cultural artifacts from war
zones, Emily Hudson and her crew of UN archaeologists are sent to
Afghanistan to rescue Russian antiquities on loan to a local museum.
Believing that a critical part of the czar's legacy is included in the
trove, a vicious gang of thugs ambushes the team. Led by the fiendishly
malevolent Staunton, they hold Emily hostage while her best friend and
colleague, Joel Levy, is tortured to death after failing to provide the
information Staunton desires. About to be turned over to a sexually
sadistic Afghani warlord, Emily is "nick-o'-time" rescued by John
Garrett, a dashing, James Bondian soldier of fortune who joins Emily's
struggle to avenge Levy's death, locate the Romanov cache, and end the
cycle of murder its disappearance has wrought. Despite the lack of
dimension demonstrated by Johansen's otherwise taut cast of heroes and
rogues, this suitably intricate tale of international and historic
intrigue maintains a riveting electric tension right from its robust
beginning. --Carol Haggas
