"Very good book. Reminds me of Steve Berry's Cotton Malone series. If you enjoy those you'll like the Project Series!"

5.0 out of 5 stars The Project Series...Better and Better! January 26, 2012

By grammy1 VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

WOW! Alex Lukeman you have written one heck of a great series!

White Jade brought me into the world of The Project. I loved meeting Elizabeth Harker, who has the `ear' of our President. She leads a small group of dedicated people at The Project. At our first meeting with her I knew what she stood for: Truth Justice and The American Way...Sound corny? No not to me.

Nick Carter has a second sight. This was left to him from his Irish Grandmother who had it as well. His left ear itches to warn him of trouble. It comes in handy for the line of work he is in. Nick lost Megan, the love of his life, and still hasn't come to terms with this. His infatuation with Selena Connor has been the first awakening of feelings in him for long time.

Dreams of war and bombs and death keep threatening him. Selena has lost her family and was raised by an Uncle who was brutally murdered in White Jade. She has now joined The Project team. Elizabeth Harker, her assistant Stephanie, Ronnie and now a new comer The Shadow, Lamont have their hands full in this newest attempt stemming back to Adolph Hitler.

Mr Lukeman takes the reader from one end of the globe to the other, taking on the FBI, the CIA, Senators, Judges, and possibly even in the president's cabinet. I remember mentioning in my review of White Jade, the action was so real, the descriptions so clear, I saw it as a movie in my head.

This book did not disappoint either. Not to give any spoilers but for example picture this: the President is giving a speech in the Middle East. He is doing it outside, all eyes are on him. Nick is close by as his bodyguard. The ground explodes from beneath, as a bomb has been implanted in the ruins and tunnels below. The ground gives way becoming a cavernous hole. Nick peers down and slides down to aid the President below wiping the dirt off his unconscious form. From above at the top of the hole, a man with a machine gun is shouting something about ALLAH and is shooting down at the President into the pit, while Nick throws his body over the President and begins firing shots up with the gun he carries ever ready... Helicopters are circling from CNN... Can't you picture this??? Don't you want to read what happens???

Alex, you take your readers on a wild ride. Your sense of humor is great... For example: Lamont is called the Shadow (for folks of my age who listened to Lamont Cranston every Sunday as the Shadow on radio) your sense of timing is wonderful too. Just when I need to catch my breath you let me.

But the message of this book is an important one to me as well. Being of Jewish faith I can only feel fear about Hitler, Himmler and the Third Reich. To think that this hatred had continued to grow and this filth continued to be fed for all these years brought my fear to the forefront. It was an excellent, page turning, heart churning story... Excellent read. Do you think I liked this book? WOW!

I await your 3rd release The Seventh Pillar to see where the gang goes from here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lance of Death December 14, 2011

By Nash Black VINE™ VOICE

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Alex Lukeman's brilliant THE LANCE is a sure fire winner that surpasses his previous thriller, WHITE JADE.
'The Lance' is the spear that pierced Christ's side long believed to hold special powers in the occult. German high commander, Dieter Reinhardt takes the stolen lance in the final days of WWII and transports it to special storage in Anarticia. Reinhardt leaves his son a legacy of knowledge except for the location of the lance. Men who hunger for power build a network of spider into the government waiting for the discovery its discovery.
Nicholas Carter and Elizabeth Harker (his boss) for the Project must protect the president. Each step they take is covered in death before they can learn the truth.
Money, death, brillance, fear, and doubt all play a roll in the romance of Nicholas and Selena, but a few obstacles are moved out of their way. In the spy world there are no guarantees all will ever be smooth sailing.
Fast paced, tight threads, big surprises, and a strong plot keep you reading long after midnight. Before you've reached the last page you are anticipating the next installment in this outstandingly written thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lance September 18, 2011

By Glenn F

Format:Paperback

Another great thriller by Alex Lukeman. Hard to beat his first thriller, White Jade, but he does. Another book that is researched and meticulously written. Uses and descriptions of weapons and tactics are real and as a combat Infantryman I can attest to the use and description of all the weapons listed in the book The Lance. Awaiting his next book and wondering if It is going to be as great as the first two. A must read if you like thrillers. You won't be able to put it down.

More About the Author

I've been writing since I was twelve. I've done a lot of traveling and been in a lot of strange situations. I was in the Marines and spent years on the road as a professional folk singer. You could say that I bring a varied life experience to my writing.

I live in Northern California in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains. I like riding old, fast motorcycles, sipping Barbados rum and playing guitar, usually not at the same time.

I write action/adventure thrillers. WHITE JADE is the first in a series featuring the PROJECT, a covert, small intelligence unit reporting only to the President. THE LANCE is second in the series, the third is THE SEVENTH PILLAR. BLACK HARVEST is Book Four. Book Five, THE TESLA SECRET, is now available. Book Six will come out sometime in 2013, probably about mid-year.

Video trailers are fun and you can see mine on this page. If you have difficulty loading the video trailer for White jade, here's the YouTube link: http://youtu.be/4TfTMEoXWBY
