Review: The Forbidden Temple

The Forbidden Temple by Ernest Dempsey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lovecraft repeatedly reiterated the danger of too much knowledge, of too much exploration. I think he would have roundly decried the Mission Statement of the original Star Trek: "to boldly go where no man has gone before." Lovecraft believed, and illustrated with many of his characters, that the outcome of too much knowledge is inevitably madness. Well, we can add to "madness" also danger, injury, and death--even disappearance. Professor John Portman of Cambridge University, expert on early Indian culture and history, should have heeded Lovecraft. But he did not, thereby creating another case for the intrepid duo of Sean Wyatt and Tommy Schulz. Sean has plenty of experience, both working for the government agency Axis, and since working on his own with partners. This is the 16th entry in the Sean Wyatt series, so be ready for lots of action, compelling suspense, and archaeological intrigue.
