When archaeologist Annja Creed reluctantly agrees to help an old colleague on a dig in Antarctica, she wonders what he's gotten her into. It turns out that her former associate has found a necklace made of an unknown metal depicting three snakes. He claims it's over forty thousand years old—and that it may not have earthly origins.

As the pair conduct their research, Annja soon realizes she has more to worry about than being caught in snowslides. Because everyone is hiding something—from her friend, to the U.S. military personnel guarding the site. With no one to trust and someone out to kill her, Annja has nowhere to turn. And everything to lose.

I'm mostly through Polar Quest and already have the next book in my possession but I'm saddened by the decline of the quality of the writing the past couple books and not quite sure who's writing Annja because this isn't the Annja from the early books. I understand the whole team of writers idea, being a writer myself, but shouldn't everyone involved have the same basic concept in mind for particular recurring characters? The recent Annja is a bit of a dingbat, you'd think that as she has more time spent with the sword she'd get smarter not dimmer...

I have read every book in this series and have been expecting something new. Unfortunately, this is not it. While the setting is interesting and could make a visually intriguing movie, the only reason for Annja in this story was the tie to Garin. It is almost as if the writers don't know what to do to further the concept and are churning out stories without strong tie-ins to the underlying mythology of the series. Short of 'the sword may have helped me heal faster' and the usual, 'my senses have been heightened,' this was nothing but an adventure story featuring a strong heroine. Three stars only because I am a fan of the series and expect things to get better... otherwise, two.

for the most part i get the concept. i like the concept of the globe trotting female indiana jones. i just wish all the different people who write this series. had to read the previous books. first. this one was a little bit lame. too many dumb things. hope the next writer has a better grasp of the concept. read it at the book store. wait for the next one

Annja Creed is a part-time archeologist, part-time tv host of Chasing History's Monsters, and full-time adventurer. Annja's latest adventure takes her all the way to Antarctica, when an old friend requests her help on a mysterious dig. But as soon as she arrives, Annja finds herself attacked by strangers trying to kill her. As if the extreme weather isn't danger enough, Annja must uncover the reason behind the attack and what exactly her friend has unearthed in such a remote place. As usual, danger and mystery surround Annja's exploits, and this time the suspense is increased tremendously just because of her location. Unable to remain outdoors for very long because of such extreme temperatures, only adds to the feeling of peril that always follows the heroin. But besides the setting, the characters are fantastic too. And the mystery and suspense culminates to the very end with a fabulous climax. With many surprises along the way, Polar Quest is an outstanding addition to the Rogue Angel series.

This series is usualy a fun fast read but with them pushing out so many in a short time they have added new writers who don't understand who Annja is. Jon Merz has written at least two of the more recent books Warrior Spirit and Polar Quest bolth I couldn't finish they were just too out of character.I'll go to the bookstore and check the copyright page before I buy now.
