Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, Gabriel Hunt, Sydney Fox, Annja Creed please welcome Elisa Hill to the ranks of adventuring archaeologists.
Percival Constantine has created a unique character. Elisa Hill is a second generation Myth Hunter, who started hunting for money but had a change of heart and now hunts to add to human knowledge. This background gives her access and connections to those on both sides of the myth hunting community.
In this adventure, Elisa along with her mentor Max Finch is searching for Lemuria. Along the way Elisa clashes with a former rival Seth and her former partner Lucas Davalos who still works for their old employer The Order.
Constantine only hints at the nature of the Order, which one hopes he will continue to reveal more in future adventures.
Another feature I like about this novel is the open acceptance of the supernatural. Elisa is confronted and aided by a Kitsune, a Japanese fox spirit, without question or batting an eye.
The novel is fast pasted but still building character.
The Myth Hunter was the first book to bear the New Pulp Logo and offers an exciting adventure that travels around the world. Elisa Hill is a character I hope to follow through more adventures.

Elisa Maza from the cartoon Gargoyles
and
Elisa Cameron aka Ghost from Darkhorse Comics shared universe.
But no I've never known anyone real who is named Elisa, either.
I imagine it pops up in fiction because it is uncommon, but is not to bizarre.
