Nathan Drake, un osado cazador de tesoros, viaja a Nueva York para ayudar a Victor Sullivan, Sully, a descifrar el misterio tras la muerte de un arqueólogo.
Drake, Sully y la hija del arqueólogo, Jada Hzujak, deberán viajar a las excavaciones de Grecia y Egipto; el objetivo, descifrar un antiguo mito alrededor de la alquimia, buscar los tres laberintos perdidos y hallar el asombroso descubrimiento que provocó la muerte del padre de Jada. Todo indica que el Cuarto Laberinto se construyó en otra tierra y en otra cultura, y que dentro de él está la clave para obtener el poder y la riqueza ilimitados.
Un ejército de terroríficos guerreros protege este laberinto. Lo que hay más allá, y puede que Drake viva lo suficiente como para encontrarlo, es un tesoro y un veneno mortal; el paraíso y el infierno.

Before fortune hunter Nathan Drake can enjoy the money he earned from his last adventure, his long-time friend Victor "Sully" Sullivan calls to tell him that their friend and archaeologist Luka Hzujak has been murdered. His daughter Jada—who is also Sully's god daughter—thinks his death may have something to do with the labyrinth at Knossos and a recently discovered labyrinth in the ancient city of Crocodilopolis, just outside Faroum City in Egypt. Both labyrinths appear to have been constructed by Daedulus and after Drake, Sully, and Jada manage to sneak their way into the second labyrinth, they discover that Daedulus built a third near the Greek island of Santorini. But Tyr Henriksen, CEO of Phoenix Innovations, is hot on their trail. And when they discover a fourth labyrinth—and a mind-altering treasure—the race is on for Drake and his team to reach it before Henriksen.

I'm a fan of the video games related to this book, so yeah, I'm a bit prejudiced. The story fits right in with all the games, full of adventure as well as interesting historical tidbits, and I'm incredibly glad that the author maintained the wise-cracking banter between Drake and Sully. I felt it had one glitch, having to do with a group of lost warriors protecting each of the labyrinths and how they knew about Drake, Sully, and Jada. It's seems a minor detail and doesn't detract from the storytelling, so I would highly recommend this one. You don't even need to have played any of the video games to enjoy it! ( )

I like this game. I've played it for a little while now, and it is challenging. The idea of a modern day Indiana Jones comes most to mind while playing it. But that is a game, and not a book.

We look at the written word different then we look at video games. And just as when we walk out of a movie based on a book, we do a comparison of the two properties, we must do the same with the book and the game. The book is based on the game franchise, not a particular game as yet.

That is probably one of the failures. The copy I reviewed is also a pre publication copy, and there were too many typos showing either Del Rey has let go too many copy editors, it hasn't had a final edit, or Chris Golden writes to fast to edit his work. Not sure which, but it does detract from the work.

The story itself has some good points, but craft wise, it fails. First as a mystery, we have a dead body, and instead of really wanting to find out more about this body, which is recovered in gruesomeness. We want to find the mysterious title of the book, the 4th Labyrinth which we hope will tie up the loose end of who murdered that body.

The protagonists includes the friend of the deceased as well as the daughter. No matter how important the find will be, murderers, justice would seem to be more important to those involved. The author does not really give us enough development to get away from that.

Further, as Nate and Sully in the video banter to pass the time in the video, and as they are not three dimensional characters in that game, the author carries that banter past an extreme in the book. Nate is never serious, except one or two times in his own thoughts. Otherwise it is all banter, banter, banter. Might as well watch some South Park reruns instead of read this book. If you do not catch the byplay, because you do not live in the author's generation, then you are not going to enjoy this book. It certainly looses rating points because the characters don't know how to speak as Human's do.

We then get to the great part of the game, and what the book lacks. The quest. There is a quest in the book, but it is very linear without trips down the wrong path and clues that we can see that lead us as readers towards the right path. The characters solve this with their help from the deceased, the funky researcher who works for the bad guy, the professor the hero pulls out of his cell phone as needed.

But where the game excels and where Indiana Jones established how this should work, and the B&W serials of the thirties and forties, is that all these great finds are protected by puzzles. It is what we as gamers have to do to unlock the next part of the story. Somehow the puzzles are not challenging and that Nathan figures them out easily, make it seem like anyone with him could do so.

No challenge. That is the underlying way the entire story carries out. No Challenge. And so it is just average. That and the detracting banter make this a once only and only for those who are really fans. For those who want more depth in their reading, this won't have it. ( )

Tropical birds scattered as Drake veered the Jeep onto an old rutted track, snapping branches and tearing away vines, plowing through the rain forest with killers in pursuit, bullets flying, a gorgeous but pouty girl in the passenger's seat, and a bitch of a headache.
