WANTED, adventure lovers for hazardous journey. Must be prepared for nail-biting action, constant danger, fear around every corner, with safe return doubtful.

If that sounds like your sort of thing, in your choice of books at least, then come with me...

Hey there, I’m Luke Richardson, and I’m applying for the job as your next favorite author!

As an Amazon bestselling author, I've had the honour of sharing my stories with readers all around the world. Whether you're a history buff, a travel addict, or just looking for a little excitement in your reading, my books are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I write books that take you on a journey to foreign and exotic places, blending history, adventure, and suspense into a gripping tale.

In my books, you'll find yourself transported to places like the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the glitzy skyscrapers of Hong Kong, or the shady backstreets of Kathmandu in Nepal. But it's not just about the locations; my stories are also filled with fascinating characters, unexpected twists, and edge-of-your-seat action.

It was visiting India for the first time that actually made me want to start writing. The sun had just risen as we landed at Mumbai airport. The taxi journey that followed was one of the most incredible of my life. I watched the city unfold like a story. People washing, children playing, chickens, cows, goats, all beside an eight-lane motorway.

I love sharing my stories and am proud to say that my books have been well-received by readers and reviewers. One of the greatest compliments I get is when people say that my books transport them to a new place. Although people often comment on the loveable characters, intricate plots, and fast-paced storytelling too. And I'm always working hard to bring you even more thrilling adventures.

So, if you're looking for a page-turning read that will take you on a journey to far-off lands, look no further than my books. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

The problems with this series:
1. Numerous spelling and grammatical errors. There were way too many to keep track but here are a few examples. "The Council of Selene controlled countless organizations from the bodies that awarded patients, to the company that classified films." Really? They awarded "patients" and not "patents"? "It was a view of contrasted the human and natural world." "Winslow knew that even though he was chairmen of a very powerful organization..." I guess he cloned himself so he could be "chairmen". Here is a classic "This situation that we’ve unexpectedly got mixed up it." "During in the day..." "...throwing at ice glance in Baxter’s direction." Ouch. "They pair slip off to investigate..." "Baxter flicked to through pictures of..." "...order to give the Everett a transfusion..." There was more than one reference to "the" Everett; I guess this must be the authentic Everett. Another great one "Not only did Eden now feel the pressure of the water against the hull, but the ghostly pressure of the diseased." I had to think about that one for a moment then realized the author meant "deceased". "...the rest of the ballast at the submersible rose of its own accord." Interesting that the ballast would rise at all. "Baxter stopped his question mid why through and..." "Legacy is not about having your name in lights. It’s about leaving our world in a better than we found it."

2. Absurd. In too many ways to go into.

3. Over the top.

4. Contrived.

Great Thriller Box Set

Known for his book settings in exotic locales, these Luke Richardson books take place around the world and under an ocean.

The heroine, Eden Black, is compelling. Her adventures combine archeology and danger, dodging pursuit from ruthless thugs while seeking artifacts critical to history. These books have nonstop action.

These are great reads, and each book promises more to come.

This is a glorious collection of the first four novels of the Eden Black series !
Each novel is an exciting adventure in a colourful location, like Egypt and Mexico.

Eden is a strong and splendid character, and I also really like her fellow adventurer Baxter.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading each of these novels and am very eager to get my hands on a fifth novel. Luke Richardson is truly a master of words.

Eden Black is insane! The risks she takes are beyond belief, but you’ll love this series anyway. White knuckle, edge of your seat action keeps you turning pages way past your bedtime! Dialogue is natural with humorous side notes that lighten the tension. Each book has a well thought out, exciting, complex plot with likable, believable characters, and each book is better than the one before. Enjoy!

Fabulous series.

This is an exceptional series by a very talented author. It is basically an archeological thriller series, but it's unlike any others I've read. Each individual tale stands alone, but are definitely enriched by reading in order, and now are available all together. Start reading, and just wait until you get to the exciting, unexpected twists!

Great boxset with the Eden Black series. Continuing her father's work searching for the diary of Aloma, buried vaults underground, searching for an ORB on a dangerous mission, and investigating the Titanic where a relic went down with it. These are all dangerous and someone else wants these gems. A highly recommended boxset.

Good story, would suggest

having a better proofreader or editor, way more errors than the last book. Not sure if someone is going to come back from the water though, like a bad apple. Lots of action.

Horrendous. Couldn't finish it. People who like those books probably never read a proper book. Characters are bleak, the story ... actually there's no story in this. Simple books for simple-minded readers.

Enjoyed the read, but lots of of words that were in the wrong place.

Good read but needs a proof reader to notify the author of errors.
Will continue to read his books. Enjoyed this series. Read it all in 5 days

I thought these were excellent stories. They were well written and very entertaining. The only criticism I have is that the editing in book 4 was not well done. Other than that, very good reading.

great series of books.

It starts with book 1 and then you get to book 4 and it’s explosive from page 2 to the end. Like action, suspense, never a dull moment. Get these 4 books
