Bob Devaney was a soldier in the Special Forces in the early 1960s until something he refused to discuss caused him to leave, setting up his own security and investigative agency, with one employee: himself. Then he found out too much about a secret government project and he had the choice of disappearing or being recruited for the Prometheus Project. The Project was the largest disinformation operation in history, targeted at the aliens who ruled the galaxy. A mysterious individual known as Mr. Inconnu had arrived in a damaged but highly advanced craft in the 1940s with the information that he had escaped from a group of humans whom aliens had been studying. And unless the Earth could convince the aliens that the Earth had a unified government, and technology comparable to that of the galactic rulers, the Earth would be exploited as a primitive protectorate. So far the hoax was working - and the technology which Mr. Inconnu had brought with him helped - but someone in the Project was selling secrets to an interstellar mafia called the Tonkuztra about the real stare of affairs on Earth. And Devaney knew that Chloe Bryant, the woman he had fallen in love with, was being set up to take a fall for the real traitor, who was about to embark on a treason whose consequences could jeopardize the very Universe...

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book,
By
This review is from: The Prometheus Project (Hardcover)
This book is impressive - it's easy to read, holds a lot of intrigue, and saves a lot of surprises for later in the book.. I especially enjoyed the "tone of the book" -- it is written somewhat first person -- with a lot of reflection and thought that really adds to the atmosphere and the story (and also gets the reader thinking).
I couldn't put this book down!

This review is from: The Prometheus Project (Hardcover)
One of those books I could not put down. I did not see the wrap-up until three or four chapters from the end - pretty much as the author intended. Far too many books hold no secrets or are way too predictable - not this one!
Another great read!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Easily read but not terribly memorable,
By K. Maxwell "katmax1" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Prometheus Project (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1969 when Bob Devaney is hired to escort a lady to an appointment and is then ambushed by some very strange criminals he finds himself drawn into a super-secret conspiracy that will change is life forever. This book is easy an easy and somewhat old fashioned read. It has a good twist at the end, which while is not totally original, gives this story a nice conclusion. I enjoyed this novel, but its one of those books you take on holidays with you if you want something to read that doesn't require a lot of thinking. If you want some light SciFi to keep you occupied on the beach then this is a good choice.
