Fast and easy reading, nice set of characters, poised to continue
The enduring part of this series is the characters and the drama among them. Four books now consumed, on to book five.

The characters really go through the ringer in this book. Some tragedy. But long hidden villans are unveiled and the larger series arc is moved forward in a big way. It's hard to say more without giving away secrets. Another fantastic read. Can't wait for book #5.

Great ending or is it could there be more perhaps and certainly Matt Drake has emerged as a formidable character for future adventures.

When they find the hidden treasure through the Gates of Hell in Diamond Head, Drake and his friends realize that the writing and artifacts found in the two tombs of the gods that they had find so far lead to a clandestine circle pulling the world’s strings and a greater marvel than they expected. Now they are after a third tomb wondering where that will lead them.
I love how this series arc ends for the group. I was wondering how the ‘Oden thing was going to continue for the rest of the series. Looking forward to the next crisis.
Fave scenes: escaping the building, Drake’s idea to allow them to escape Cayman’s trap, Kinimaka’s surprise return and the luau.

Very Good Adventure Thriller
This fourth great book brings an end to the "Tombs of the Gods" tale, but lays the groundwork for further adventures. As before, the plot is basically a hot and heavy action story, with lots of large and small twists.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS BOTH AN INDIVIDUAL BOOK AND AS A SERIES

You will get sucked in!
David creates a perfect world of thrilling wonder to suck you into his narrative. He eloquently balances character development and narrative without sacraficing either. You can't help but get emotionally invested in his characters as they evolve, love, lose, and start again with friends and hope.

On to number 4.
Well I'm hooked. There is some small changes needed,but it's not a deal breaker. Gun crowd just is a little to good for the situation. But it is fiction. So read on and enjoy. I will.

The Odin Cycle
Just finished Book 4 of the Cycle. I thoroughly enjoyed all four books, sometimes a little audacious and improbable, but hey that's entertainment. Recommend this series wholeheartedly and will continue to enjoy Matt Drake and company. NOTE: Must read in sequence.

Great fast action book
As with the 1st three, this did not disappoint. Sometimes it takes beyond what is credible but it moves so fast you let it go and move on with the next. This is a great series of books and I plan to read them all.

Matt Drake, Odin Cycle Complete
The four books in Leadbeaters Odin Cycle, ending with Tomb of the Gods, is an exciting read. Thrilling, but violent. The cast of characters is well developed and makes you want to follow them in future books in the series. Really surprised this hasn't been made into sequential movies. They'd be quite a hit.

Great Series
I really liked that the women were just as involved in the action as the men. I would recommend this series to any one who can suspend or use their imagination for a while and enjoy a good story.

The end of a series
Very well written and entertaining series. I enjoyed all four books. The Tomb of the Gods promised to answer all the questions and it did while leaving enough mystery to keep Matt Drake and his team full I material for more adventures.
