The Oracle's Message (Rogue Angel #32)
Steeped in legend, the Pearl of Palawan has a history marked by destruction, vengeance and love. But more important, the mythical black pearl is rumored to grant a power long coveted by mankind--immortality. It is a power men would risk dying to achieve.
Sun, sand and scuba diving in the Philippines certainly sounded like an ideal vacation. But after a way-too-close-for-comfort encounter with a tiger shark, archaeologist Annja Creed finds herself drawn into a group of German divers. They are treasure hunters searching for the fabled pearl. Out of curiosity, Annja accompanies them. But when an old friend of hers turns up unexpectedly, she finds herself torn between her past and new acquaintances.
The race is on to possess the pearl. But no one realizes the true nature of the artifact, or the danger it poses to them all.
This, the 32nd installment of this series is about a woman who inherits Joan of Arc's sword. The story has magical/mystical components since the protagonist, Anya, keeps the sword in a nether-world and can summon it at will (which she does often). She travels the world for her day job as a TV host for a popular TV show but her training is as an archeologist. There are two other characters, Garin and Roux, one of which appears in every book and who also further the magical component, since they
Thirty-second in the Rogue Angel urban fantasy series revolving around an archeologist who may be the incarnation of Joan of Arcshe already has Joan's sword. My Take This particular installment was not impressive as a whole. Sure, I loved the memories wrought of scuba diving but the whole exploration and interaction with the undersea people was just too cheesy. The primary positive note was Annja's subtle proof to Roux that it is well worth leaving alive those people who learn about the sword.
I love this series but this one wasn't as good in my opinion as many of the others. I like the ones that involve history and this one didn't so much. It was still a good book, it just isn't among my favorites of this series.
Just a cute adventure story.

New writers joining the series starting with book nine include Jon Merz and Joseph Nassise.3 stars.This one shows that Annja's sense of trouble does not always work, even with the sword!
