Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Lost Cult
She inhaled the mask's oxygen through her mouth, as she had since she'd started flushing the nitrogen out of her blood in the Royal Australian Air Force C-130J transport an hour ago.
Getting the nitrogen out of her blood saved her from the bends. Breathing through her mouth saved her a nosebleed.
A high-altitude low-open jump is nothing to sneeze at - or during.

What is it?
Another globe-hopping adventure for🐭 Lara Croft, taking in the CIA, a murdered colleag✤ue and a mysterious Peruvian cult.
Who wrote it?
, a teacher of genre📖 fiction writing at Harper ♑College in Illinois.
Fanboy factor?
It takes only🅺 a few pages for Lara to become "uncomfor🎐tably hot" in her techno jumpsuit and just a couple more before she's peeling it off and shaking her hair out. This guy knows his audience.
Is it any good?
Despite Knight's compulsive usage of needlessly exotic wo🍒rds like 'imprecations', 'sybaritic' and 'spoof board' - presumably to hammer home Lara's 🅷sophisticated upbringing - his writing is engaging enough to divert the attention of any reader.
