snugglekittyI picked this up as potential airplane reading in Atlanta. I didn't wind up starting it until I got home, though. The premise? A pyramid is eating people in Chicago. Most of them come back in a few hours, dead. But one group of people - two professors, some Marines, and a maintenance guy - doesn't come back. They find themselves in a land of legend. Smelly, dirty, mean legend. Can they defeat the very Gods of Olympus to get back home?
This is light and funny. It also reminded me of some David Weber books, probably because Eric Flint has cowritten some things with him. There were a fair number of cliches - the picky, fussy Frenchman, the woman with the enormous handbag full of everything under the sun, the maintenance man who knows almost everything, and the professor who turns out to be surprisingly like Indiana Jones (without the drinking and womanizing, of course). Still, if you're in the mood for something light, it's not a bad choice. Three stars.
