Fast paced escapade
A fast moving thriller with lots of gory deaths but without the gory descriptions. The banter between the group is sometimes humorous. The taking of Greek mythology and making it real is a nice slant and I look forward to future books based around Norse mythology as hinted in this book. I do love how, after the epilogue, the reader is told that this is a work of fiction!

This Grandmother enjoyed two of your Hawk novels. Something I was happy to share with my adult and teen friends.
Your books move right along with good characters and great plots.
Plan on keeping one near by for many an hour of enjoyable adventure.

This book was a complete change from previous joe Hawke books but really enjoyed the story. Plenty of action throughout with all the characters dealing with their own problems but ending up together. Looking forward to the next read.

The curse of Medusa
Loved the way Medusa is brought to life as having been a person and not a myth. I found the way it was described about being a bacteria a truly fascinating explanation. Looking forward to the next book.

Fast paced!
More action than you can shake a stick at. Nasty bad guy. Threat against the world. What more could you ask for in an action novel.

Good One
Jones is quite a teller of stories. He is a weaver of myth, legend, power and human twists. I thoroughly appreciate the efforts in tale weaving

Think mythology is just a myth. Medusa just a myth? Suppose Medusa was real? Her severed head used as a weapon.
Tension and suspense at it’s best.

Yet another excellent read from Rob Jones. This time we find Joe on his own after walking away from Lea and ECHO in the last instalment. He finds himself in the middle of massive terror attacks in the USA and searching for the President and all the time trying to understand what a Greek Myth has to do with it all. Its not load before Scarlett and Ryan turn up to help. Meanwhile Lea is off on her own chasing ghosts!!!Very well written with some good twist and turns and a great cliff hanger ending, looking forward to the next keep up the great work Rob.

Another action packed adventurr
I managed to make this last 2 nights ! A little far fetched ? Who knows what governments have hidden away ? The action is split and you will have to read until the last page to make sense of it ? But a great description and style I like in these books, great for kindle reading and I just bought the next one so no time for a beer yet !
