Summary

William Dietrich's fourth installment of the adventures of American envoy and spy Ethan Gage, who tends to be a bit like Captain Jack Sparrow in the sense that is loyalities tend to lie with whoever offers the best deal, comes back strong after a weak third book that had me a little disappointed in Ethan's future. Barbary Pirates finally wraps up some loose ends with the explanation of why Ethan has been led on a merry chase around the globe since the onset of book one, finding ancient artifacts that are being hunted down by the mysterious cult group The Egyptian Rite. Ethan's trails have led him to find Egyptian amulets, Rosetta Keys, and Thor's Hammer, all at the behest of none other than Napoleon Bonaparte. We also get to witness Ethan's reunion with his beloved Astiza whom he fell in love with in Napoleon's Pyramid, that offers up one heck of a surprise for our fumbling spy and allows us to see a different warmer and more responsible aspect of Ethan's personality that up to now tended to be quite fickle and carefree.
