The first two books of the series were tremendously unpredictable, and coupled with the exciting plot, they were unputdownable. It was with this eagerness that I looked forward to the third book of the series.
The pace of this book matches that of the first two, and I was able to finish this relatively shorter book in about 3-4 hours single sitting. The imagery created is once again vivid, and the characterisation is nuanced. However, I found this installment of the series predictable and a litt...more

REVIEWER WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS ABOUT THE PREVIOUS TWO BOOKS IN THE SERIES.
Implementation Day has arrived and Daniel Ash and his team are on hand to stop it but the devious Olivia has other plans. Now that the virus has been released, who will survive? Will Daniel ever see his children again and will those who seek to take over humanity succeed?
As with prior books in the series, we’re following several concurrent storylines. We have the ever capable, Daniel Ash and Chloe, the Re...more
Took me less than 24 hours to complete, right off the heels of Exit 9. I've seen other reviews mention that this installment has less action/excitement than the previous two. I disagree. The first two books were working up to an incredible climax, that's for sure. But Pale Horse is also filled with intense action, terror, suspense, devastation, and pure emotion. I feel like the first two books were an awesome introduction to an incredible story we might just be starting to read in book three. I'...more
Book three was no less thrilling than books one and two. In fact, I finished book two before bed last night, and managed to eat through the third in a single day. It's a bit shorter than the first two, however the length did not take away from the quality of the story.
Several story lines interweaving with one another give the perspective of the bio-armageddon from many angles. It creates a rich and fun way to interact with the characters. If I were to pick nits, I would like to see a bit more in...more

I love this series, exactly my kind of books. I've read others reviews and agree on several angles. With so many characters, their stories build, then all of a sudden you reading about a different character in a different part of the world. A literary roller coaster if you will.
I do agree with one reviewer that the character depth is waning a bit, but only around some of the minor characters. Others are well developed, so not sure if that is waning or planned. I've been looking to see how many...more

The other 2 books in this series were just so wonderful, fast-paced, and thrilling. Unfortunately Pale Horse just doesn't measure up. It's not that Pale Horse isn't good...it is good...it's just not awesome like Sick and Exit 9. For the most part this felt very much like a transition story, something to get from Exit 9 to next the next book. Basically not a lot happened in this book that really moved the story forward. Again this book was good and I enjoyed reading it and I will get book 4 in th...more
Pale Horse is the third book in the Project Eden series, an exciting, edge-of-your-seat kind of story about biological warfare and what could happen if one powerful group of people decided to annihilate 99% of humanity by releasing a deadly flu virus into the population. When I started reading this installment, I figured it was going to be the final book and would wrap everything up at the end. Pale Horse, however, is not the end, although I wish it had been. There is a lot to enjoy about the bo...more
This is the 3rd book of the Project Eden series. I enjoyed this one but definitely not as much as the first and second book of this series. The 4th book is not scheduled to come out until Fall of 2012 so I would wait till this one comes out since book #3 really has no ending. The series is so far a 5 out of 5 stars for me BUT I gave this 3 stars just because there are SO many different characters in this book and a lot of jumping back and forth I caught myself looking back to figure out who was...more
The third in the Project Eden thriller series, starting where the second left off. Unfortunately, Pale Horse seems to disintegrate further – the first in the series was an amazing read, but it feels a little as though Battles was running out of steam with his story at this point. Although well written, with many plot twists, the story focuses too much on sidelines and characters non-essential to the story up until this point seems to detract a little for me – I want to know what is happening to...more
This book is certainly a case of third verse better than the first. I'm now officially hooked. Do yourself a favor and read a series that doesn't weaken, but draws you in to an increasingly exciting story with a diverse number of converging plot lines. A great read.
This was an excellent continuation of the Project Eden series of thrillers. I am new to thrillers, and I am really enjoying reading this new genre and think that I've put myself into good hands with Brett Battles, who not only writes an awesome story, but goes the indie way, which I greatly respect. I can't wait for the next book to come out, hopefully sometime in the next month or so.
I really like this series, but I was not happy with this ending. It just fell off and didn't leave me wanting more. The next book is said to be released fall 2012, so I guess we will see what happens!
Now the wait begins. The next book in the series isn't coming out until the fall 2012. The books read like a TV series in that the endings leave you hanging...waiting to find out what happens next.
Good series though this one not as good as the first two books. A bit dragged out but still tithe series is an awesome read. Keep em coming
disappointed in this one. Seemed like a filler.
Excellent read, loved it! So glad that Brett Battles has more Books planned for his Project Eden Series. I didnt want the Book to end, i highly recommend all 3 Books in this Series!!
A great book. I hope they come back for brandon and ash wakes up.
I don't even need to review his books anymore, I just need to tell you to read them! I love Brett Battles!
No resolution, burnt out on the series.
The story continues on and wondered how this third book would play out and I was very pleased and anothe rpage turner. Now onto the fourth - Ashes.
This is starting to seem like young adult series. Half a book and a cliffhanger to keep us buying more books in this Project Eden? Just not fair. If it's supposed to be like Gone (Michael Grant) then it should be sold as such.
