The lost empire

This is a book by Clive Cussler, but written together with Grant Blackwood. The storyline is ok, infact I like the plot but the writing standard is too amateur. Sometimes it goes into too much details like while maneuvering a boat etc where the reader is lost.
The story is based on discovery of artifacts which prove that the Mexicans, formerly the Aztecs, had migrated to Mexico from Indonesia and were not the real inhabitants. The story enfolds slowly keeping the curiosity of the reader high. The central characters of the plot  are a couple who are rich, adventurous, famous and all that anybody can want for. They are portrayed to be too perfect ...quite like a superhero.
It still remains a light read and not boring. This makes me think that I should read about the Aztecs sometime.

Book Cover:  Lost Empire
My rating 5/10
