As always a great job
It amazes me at how you have Doc and team, plus their wives in such dangerous situations keep them all straight and the weapons used. The story is takes place in the States and abroad. Madeline is reunited with her brother , a French Legionaire, assigned to bring home a friend and fellow soldier, aka Nostradamus., who is in the hands of the Keeper and Guardians. Please excuse all misspelled words, it's the wee hours. There is another great mystery in this story, did the Keeper make it out before the helicopter was shot down? Guess ill find out in Book 4. Great job. Thank you.

Doc Holiday and his team are once again pitted against the Keeper, this time in a quest for predictions generated by a would be Nostradamus. The chase goes from a mountain lake in Montana to Sedona, AZ to Svalbard, Norway and on to New York City. In between, there are a lot of bodies, an interaction with the French government, and some really strange weapons deployed by all sides. This would have gotten four stars, but it somehow missed the copy editor's desk, either for the hard copy version, or the conversion to kindle.

The Keeper is back. And now he’s got an accomplice: Nostradamus. After another attack on his home, Doc is fed up with Keeper and the Guardians and it’s war. He’s got some more fancy weapons to help.
Even for a book of fiction, Rafe is too good to be true.
Fave scenes: Doc’s attic surprise, Uno, the cleaver & the wok and the seven drop bags.

Very hackneyed storyline with simplistic couples and simplistic friendships. The bad guy is a brother of a good guy and is simplistically mega narcissist.. really naming the first wife Melanie?

Always a good time
Doc and team are after a madman. It's a well thought out take that chronicles the fate of a billionaire genius and friend. What lengths they got to destroy the planet.

Ok enough!
All this Beauty and john darlin* is sickening. Enough already? Your ruining a good script! What are these, newlyweds? But good stories nevertheless.

The Scrolls of Destiny
The book was good but it had a similar event in it. I did find the weapons used entertaining. I will watch for the future.

Enjoyable read
The series although a little out there is captivating. The team has a unique skill set which keeps the story moving along. Overall I am enjoying the premise.
