This review is from: The Socrates Project (Paperback)
I was busy sometimes while reading this book and so had to put it down for a few days. Each time I couldn't wait to get back to it, and like a good friend we picked up easily where we left off. It held me engrossed right up to the very last page! However, don't bother reading the prologue; I found it confusing and unnecessary. I only mention this so that it does not put you off what is an excellent book.

This review is from: The Socrates Project (Kindle Edition)
The Socrates Project is a mind-blowing rollercoaster of a novel, which blends gripping adventure with a voyage of discovery. Simon Oceandis and his fellow sicads discover an amazing world full of wonder and opportunity. The sicads were created to help solve the increasing social, financial and environmental challenges that undermine global peace and prosperity.
The Socrates Project is a thrilling read for all ages, but is especially aimed at the next generation who must find the inspiration to come together, like the sicads, to solve these threatening challenges in real life. As I like to say to today's youth, "There is an Everest for Everyone", but this is one mountain we must all climb together!

All is not what it seems in the world of the Socrates Project. Governments are asking questions....they are seeking solutions but do they really want to face the realities if the world they have in part created?
This books asks to be a movie or preferably a series for TV...watch the trailer and the interviews with the worthy and the good...someone needs to move fast to secure a deal? Blink and it will be gone.
A well crafted plot that imbeds environmental truths into a believable and intriguing contemporary scene.
Highly recommended....

This is a highly readable, excellent novel and within the first few pages, I realised this was a book I was going to read quickly and late into the night. The characters are either very likeable or fascinatingly unpleasant and the reader is swept along with the drama of it all. I found myself discussing the book with friends, intrigued as to how it was going to turn out. The Socrates Project has all the elements of a good thriller, whilst also conveying an important message about the state of our planet without being preaching. I hope there is a sequel.

An original and thought provoking story, I enjoyed reading it immensely. With a young family of my own, I share the author's concern for a sustainable planet. Daron Sheehan's take on the future may not be too far from the truth !

The Socrates Project is a real page-turning thriller. Romance, adventure, technology, conspiracy, culture and philosophy blended into a gripping novel. From the start you are swept away in an adventure that is closer to reality than imagined. It is engaging on many levels; the quality of the storytelling and plot will have you engrossed, then questions emerge as you reflect on the themes of the book. I won't give it away any further - a genuine must-read!

When I first read The Socrates Project I just couldn't put it down! Every chapter kept me hooked with action, adventure, love and passion. It blends popular fiction with real world issues. The storytelling is outstanding, with edge of your seat moments and brilliant characterisation I felt like I was there, every step of the way.
And for me the journey didn't end once I finished reading The Socrates Project. I looked at my life, my friends, my family and wondered, what can I do, what can we do, to save this wonderful planet today and make a real difference now and in the future.
The Socrates Project is more than a piece of fiction, it makes you think, it starts the conversation and it's up to all of us to act now for future generations.

This book is a fantastic read! the best way to describe it would be an international thriller/sci-fi. Very interesting with a fresh take on the current events. Overall a story with a lot at stake, that simply cannot be ignored! READ IT NOW !!!

The Socrates Project is a roller coaster of an adventure, filled with a great mix of characters, adrenaline and emotion. What really stayed with me after reading the book though, were not the car chases, but the poignant message throughout that rang so true for me. This story is not so very far from reality and tells of a truth that is vital for us all to acknowledge.

The Socrates Project is a thrilling rollercoaster set in a global theatre with action, intrigue, and betrayal throughout. The underlying premise of the novel makes you think about the relationships that we as humans have with each other and our natural world. Good read, thoroughly recommended!
