I chose this book because it has the same name as another book I loved. A very different read though. Mystery and intrigue keep you reading. It's quite fast paced with some great details. From conspiracy theories to murder to the possible end of the world. The main character has to use every resource they can to stay alive and solve the mystery. You will need to read to find out the conclusion. What will the world have in store for them next time.
A fast paced plot with a good premise even if the thesis would never stand it's ground in real academia. All is presented with a degree of credibility that indicates some real passion for the subplot. Real research went into this writing but you as reader does not get bogged down with facts. This book reads amazingly fast and I for one found it far better than so many other books in this genre.
I was surprised at how good this book was. A lot of books like this are really lousy, so I didn't have high hopes for this one, but it surprised me right from the start. It's fairly short, and it reads more like a short story than a novel, with the characters moving quickly from point to point, but that's nice when so many thrillers these days seem to drag on for 600 pages. There are a few minor typos as are often found in books like this, but they are few and never detract from the story. I really recommend this and I hope the author writes more. There just aren't enough writers like this anymore.
This is a quick read and informative about conspiracy theories and different 'orders'. The story is fast paced and the characters, although believable, could use some more depth. There are typos that you can skip over. Not a bad book.
