May 24, 2013"The Siren Project" is one of the best fast-moving, action-packed thrillers that I have read this year. While browsing Goodreads I noticed the eye-catching cover of this novel,read the outline and decided it was a must read.
In the story John Mitchell an Ex-Marine and former Secret Service Agent, Mouse Szlinsky a computer hacking genius and Gunter Wartenberg an expert in electronic surveillance and explosives are coerced into working for a covert U.S. Government Organization determined to find a missing scientist who was working on secret technology that could change the face of military defence in immeasurable and destructive ways. Working with Christa Malleson, a woman with remarkable mental abilities and a mysterious defector from the rogue organization that wants to control humanity's free will, Mitchell uncovers a sinister plot that has not only seeped into the highest levels of the military and government bureaucracy, but into U.S. security agencies.
The main characters in "The Siren Project" are all realistic and memorable. I loved the undaunting determination of the pragmatic John Mitchell, the humor and wit of Mouse, the dedication and subtle intellect of Gunter and Christa and especially EB the created intelligence who is a chief advocate in overcoming the evil of the organization.
The story is filled with exciting twists and turns, as Mitchell and his team struggle not only to bring the perpetrators of the insidious conspiracy to justice, but to escape the long arm of coldblooded assassins out to kill them. This novel is a page turner from beginning to end and I highly recommend it.

What a great read! It's a fast paced action thriller that's difficult to put down. I haven't read too many of this genre, but I found myself thinking in places, "Wow, this is great stuff". The book is basically plot-led, with the characters and their interactions serving the action, and nothing giving the appearance of being tacked on to take one out of the book's flow. Even the inevitable romance is not intrusive and grows organically out of the action. Very well crafted, Mr Renneberg.
I would characterize The Siren Project as a mix between A-Team and Mission Impossible. In fact, I'd like someone to bring The Siren Project to Tom Cruise's attention when he's looking around for a plot for the next Mission Impossible movie.
In short, this is the first book I've read in a long time where I've been inspired to search for others by the same author. Now, I just have to get hold of a copy the The Mothership.
Thank you to Goodreads First Read program for providing me with this book, and thank you Stephen Renneberg for picking up the postage from Australia.

This book was so good, I loved it. Very exciting, lots of tense moments when I had no idea what was about to happen on the next page. I felt exactly like I would watching a gripping thriller movie!!! Amazing detail in descriptions of technology and equipment, it painted a great picture of the story and I could really see in my mind how the plot was unfolding.

I really liked this book. In general it goes a little sci-fi for the mystery lover in me, but not totally over my head. The book combines elements of mystery as well as a contemporary feeling to it. I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads, which got me back into mysteries, which I haven't read in a while.

This was an excellent read. It kept me hanging on until the very end. This book is hard to put down when you reach the end of a chapter ... you just want to keep reading the next chapter to find out what happens.

Way to Sci-Fi for me. The main character was okay and so was the plot until they introduced telepathy, once that happened it went from being a thriller to a sci-fi.
