As a young Vietnamese orphan, Mai Sambath was forced to flee Vietnam at the end of
the war. Now as she moves to Chicago, she finds employment as a producer with
Catherine Marsh, a well known television journalist. Catherine and Mai become quick
friends and Mai even meets the man of her dreams, the advertising photographer, Jack
Largent. Catherine soon becomes obsessed with an intriguing story involving an Asian
despot. She believes this ruler stole a treasure buried by a legendary ancient queen.
Together the three friends travel to Vietnam and pursue the story. The trip has a
different meaning for Mai; she seeks to find revenge for the death of her parents. The
efforts of both women take the group on an amazing adventure. No one could imagine
what would come of their trip.
Valley of the Queen has all the elements to make this novel an outstanding story. The
author weaves history, war, romance, strong character development, treasure hunt, and
so much more together in a way which keeps the reader wanting more. From the
moment the book begins, readers will find themselves on a roller coaster ride of
anticipation and exhilaration as the story progresses. This is not a story that can be
predicted and will leave the reader at the edge of their seat anxiously waiting to see
what will happen next.
Author William Diebold gives us something most readers crave, a compelling tale with
relatable characters having depth and strong background stories. Each of the
characters have something which makes readers want to know more about them, and
not just their stories together - but individually. It is very evident that Diebold spent time
doing research on this subject before creating this stunning piece of fiction. While there
are elements of history in the novel, it doesn't read like historical fiction or historical
re-telling.
If you are a reader of thrilling tales, action, adventure, treasure hunting, romance, and
family history, then this is the book for you. It has so much content to it that makes it a
compelling novel. I would honestly recommend it to any book lover regardless of their
preferred genre.
