Colton Banyon Mystery Series

A Dubious Race: The Phoenician Stones (A Colton Banyon Mystery) (Volume 14) - Kristopher Kubicki, Gerald J. Kubicki

When I first requested this book, I didn't realize it was part of a series so I when I saw it was #14 in the series, I was worried that I missed a lot of what happened in previous books but it didn't matter too much. I may have missed some of the backstory on the main characters but the story itself was stand alone. Colton and his ragtag team race to secure Phoenician stones that tell who really discovered America, before another group of thieves gets there first. The story is pretty much non-stop action the whole way through but a lot of it didn't come across as very believable for example, their ability to "Freud-a-Size" someone which is to make someone remember only what you want them to remember. Also, some of the dialogue and the way the women were portrayed was pretty cheesy and ridiculous. If you're just looking for a B rated action movie then this is it right here. 2.5 stars would be more accurate.
