It was okay. I liked the general concept and the story line, as well as the characters. I do believe the characters needed more depth and for as well as I could "know" them, I sometimes found them acting against how they were developed.
Overall, I think this book could be very good if it had a good editor. It proves how essential that is, especially for an author that is published independent or by a smaller house. In this case, there were several large chunks of "info dump" which slowed the pac...more

Good story--thought it would be sort of a Dan Brown type fast paced mystery, but not so much. Descriptions of cities, specific streets and locales became a little too detailed unless you have been to those places in various parts of the world. If those descriptions had been shortened or applied to something more familiar to maintain the interest it would have been much better

This book was the major suck. I read a book my Mr.Tanner before and barely made my way through it. I didn't even finish the first 10 chapters of this one. Who told this man he can write?
This story had great potential, but really missed the mark. Definitely needed a good editor and another re-write prior to publishing.
The writing is amateurish but the premise is not bad. I read about half of it and had to abandon it. I rarely do that but I just couldn't take anymore!!
horrible
This novel had a great story line, it was just a little long and packed with some historical and geographical details that were too cumbersome and repeated several times. If the editor had chopped out about 100 pages of the details it would have been really good amd easier to read.
Too much detailed, not fast paced, took a long time for me to read which is unusual.
