Imagine Indiana Jones, The Mummy and the TV show Timeless all merged together into one cheesy read and you will be close to having the premise of The Anomaly by Michael Rutger.
The first third of the book is quite uneventful. I wouldn't say boring, but nothing much of note happens before the group find the cavern, with most of the action taking place in the last third.
For almost the entire time I was reading the book I kept thinking that it would make such a good movie only to discover after I was done that the author is a Hollywood screenwriter and the rights for the movie have already been optioned!
I think that this is one of those plots that you are either going to love or hate. It definitely comes down on the side of the fantastical and, I think, without your suspending of your disbelief it will very quickly become ridiculous.
I'm not going to lie, I very much enjoyed it. Once the story picked up I found the mystery to be quite fun to solve and I found the characters to be incredibly likeable. If or when this does become a movie, I will definitely be watching it!
Thank you so much to @bonnierzaffre for sending me a proof copy of The Anomaly.
