Elizabeth Lucas, the daughter of Senator Adam Lucas, is brutally murdered at the hands of a serial killer. Kenneth Davis Cobb is found standing over her dead body with a bloody knife in hand and is immediately taken into custody. The trial should be an open and shut case, but due to unknown influences it becomes anything but that. Meanwhile, German scientist Dr. Hans Richter is working on a top secret military project at a hidden Army base in Eastern New Mexico. After World War II, the top brass decided that the United States needed a new weapon for future conflicts. Bringing together some of the world's brightest scientific minds, the goal of the project initially dubbed "The Lazarus Project" is to bring fallen soldiers back to life right on the battlefield. The discoveries that Senator Lucas and Dr. Richter make both shocks them and inexplicably links them together in a high-stakes game of corruption and lies that extends to the highest levels of government.
I was actually enjoying this story quite a bit until very near the end. This review is for the entire trilogy (which is very short)picked up for free at Amazon. I liked the characters and the set up of researchers vs the government and time travelers helping out because it was well written and flowed along nicely keeping the tension just right to keep me interested and engaged. My one concern for most of the story was that the characters were a little too black and white. The good guys were very good and the bad guys very bad. Not a horrible thing but it made the whole story a little less challenging and just a tad boring. What really destroyed my good feelings for this story was the reveal at the end of the trilogy. ***here's the spoiler*** It boils down to these time traveling heroes and bad guys are actually led by no kidding angels and possessed by demons. One character is possessed by none other than Lucifer himself. I was severely disappointed. I did not see that coming which is good for the writer but then it was a let down to realize that this was going to take a trip into the fantastical without giving me the hard edge of science that I was expecting. And of course that was the very end of the trilogy which apparently picks up in the author's next full length novel. This was a switch and bait that I fell for but did not appreciate. I wont be reading the novel.
