The Solomon Effect [Mass Market Paperback]

C.S. Graham (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 29, 2009

A German U-boat lost in the final days of the Second World War rested silent and dead in the deep waters off the Russian coast for more than half a century—carrying a cargo too terrifying to contemplate.

Now it has been found and its terrible treasure liberated . . . by those who would set the world on fire.

A remote viewer working in top secret for the U.S. government, October Guinness can "see" events occurring on the other side of the globe. But she and her loose cannon partner, CIA agent Jax Alexander—who questions the validity of Tobie's "gift"—have arrived too late to prevent a bloodbath . . . and perhaps the Apocalypse as well. Now every second brings the unthinkable a step closer—and places Tobie and Jax in the gunsights of powerful enemies in frighteningly high places—as they race to connect the dots between an impending catastrophe and a nightmare cultivated decades earlier by Nazi scientists with an evil agenda about to become all too real …

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly entertaining and I'm waiting for the next one!, February 6, 2010

The first book in this series, The Archangel Project"The Archangel Project," was a wonderfully evocative and addictive thriller set in New Orleans. Written by authors who knew the city intimately, it succeeded in using the city's neighborhoods and museums to give life to an exciting mix of spies, terrorists, bureaucrats, the paranormal, and the city's problems after Hurricane Katrina. It grabbed you and kept hold of you until the last page.

I was therefore eagerly awaiting the second book in the series and I was not disappointed. Although not set in New Orleans, it continues and expands upon the same mix of secret agents and paranormal powers. This time, Nazis, lost German submarines, and the fall of the Soviet Union are thrown into the mix, giving the story an international scope and exciting, exotic feel.

In a manner slightly suggestive of Dan Brown, the authors base much of their work on real events. Additionally, the authors mine their personal experience in military intelligence and in writing historical mysteries. When they add fictional elements to the story, they create a book so rooted in reality that you want to believe it's true.

It's a great read and I eagerly await the next one in the series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wrong plot, February 23, 2011

This review is from: The Solomon Effect (Mass Market Paperback)

If the plot was all the historic events that CSG wrote and you like to read the history of the cold war and Muslims and Arabs and Nazis this could be the book for you. If you want to read something about remote viewers this is not the book.
