Annja Creed is a Raider of Tombs with a heart of gold - and, luckily, the Blade of that Witch, Joan of Arc, that she can mystically call upon to help her save the relics of history from the clutches of unscrupulous archaeologists.
This was a fun book to read. There's not really necessarily anything new or intriguing here (the opening sequence, especially, seemed to be lifted almost entirely from Raiders of the Lost Ark), but it was a lot of fun to read in a trashy, pulpy kind of way.
