Is it just me...or has Peter Connelly aged gracefully? I guess that's what happens when you're not problematic...

Just a few interesting things I've red so far:

-the story picks up 5 hours after the ending of Last revelation
-Temple of Horus was located nearby a city; called Edfu
-Lara's pistols are:
*Wilkes and Hawkins -Black Demon (fictional brand and model)
* .32 caliber
*they are custom made, specifically for Lara (sculped to fit right into Lara's hand)
* clip's capacity is limited 15 bullets ( so she has 30)
* the pistols grip has a palm reader chip, so they can't be used by someone else


I'll post more, if I read something to worth mentioning.
Why exactly does it have a palm reader if Lara is always wearing gloves?

It's a chip embedded in her hands.

Sounds a bit painful for someone who is constantly putting their entire body weight on her hands

I've always wanted to read the books, especially Amulet of Power. Are they any good??

Occasional horrible animations are pretty much a CD staple thought lol

I don't get what you mean about the aiming, it's 100% exactly like the reboot. Like literally the same, the only change is in the cross hairs.

Nah, we're complaining that they implemented the acrobatics and dual pistols on Black Widow and not Lara. The animation and aiming is horrid, but it's frustrating.

Honestly.

Somehow Ruby Rose reminds me of Lara Croft. The resting bitch face, but at the same time endearing. The eyes being slightly upturned (and her inner canthus showing not too much lid. Something i have an issue with rise/shadow Lara's eyes is how her inner eye goes up. ) Super pretty and all. i-

That got me too.

One thing is true, there are occasions, where she doesn't wear them. But that is only in the comics. And TR1 manor.
Maybe the writer a fingerprint reader chip had in mind, but in the end he wanted something more cool.

I couldn't stand it, so I checked the ending. I can safely say, the book takes place during Chronicles... and it ends just before Lara was meeting Von Croy.
The last page even invites you to play AoD on PS2.

Its nothing special, but it's a good read. I didn't finished it/them yet. (I've bought all 3 books)
Also Lara is really a mix between her normal self and AoD's irritated /arrogant self. It's really interesting how her mind is portrayed.
