This was so well written that when I read the last chapter to the end, I was totally shocked. The key elements through the beginning and heart of the story would have the reader think and believe one plot, only to find out in the end that you were deceived by your own perception. This had to be one of the best mystery/thriller books I've ever read. I can't wait to read this again as well as Dan's other books.
The Ilium-Outstanding, entertaining, wanted to read it faster-but at the same time absorb it. Olympos-ditto. Hyperion-interesting, but lacked the passion of Ilium & Olympos.
