5.0 out of 5 stars By K. H. Kikstra "7summits.com" (Amsterdam, Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Socrates Project (Hardcover)
The Socrates project will hold you in its grip from the first pages onwards. It is a well-written and very original story as it covers many current issues (environment, social issues), wrapped in a thriller with romantic and science fiction undertones.
Often I felt quite depressed while reading this as the author managed to put into words my exact thoughts and worries about these important issues, but it was good to read a fiction book about these non-fictional problems. The pace picks up during the book until it reaches Dan Brown speed.
I am taking one star off for some editing, the abrupt ending and some open questions, but I assume that a next book will follow up on these, looking forward to reading it.

One of those rare books that is not only a gripping read with an adventurous theme, but also a book that makes one consider the perils of humanity. Well researched and developed I found it very enjoyable, I can thoroughly recommend this book.

Really enjoyed reading this novel, great pacing with lots of elements like romance, suspense, politics and science fiction. Each character is well developed and you really get to dislike the bad guys in this one and fall in love with the heroes

Sheehan's first novel is a winner: gripping thriller with a wise message about sustainable living and the choices we are making now that will lead, in one way or another, to the scenerios he so cleverly describes.

This review is from: The Socrates Project (Paperback)
I felt The Socrates Project was written more like a film scrip than a traditional novel - it jumps quite a bit to start with but is also easy to visualise - once I got used to that style I was swept along in an amazing adventure that gives lots of reason to pause and think about events and news in the real world. A very different book than I would normally read, as it bordered on sic-fi in parts, but there was so much that is based on the real world and in real events that I found it fascinating. Certainly very well written for a first time author. Would well recommend.

This review is from: The Socrates Project (Hardcover)
This is not only a good read as a thriller but manages, without being highbrow, to challenge us as the human race to think about how we work together to look after the world in which we live. Unfortunately Daron Sheehan's solution is not an option for us, so what will we do about it?

This book was a great read. Not really being a big fan of reading I thought it was very well written with an enjoyable storyline that was intriguing and thought provoking. A real page turner. Daron has done a great job here and I can't wait for his next book.

This review is from: The Socrates Project (Kindle Edition)
The Socrates Project is a thought provoking book with a powerful message woven around a compelling story. The book's pace has an epic intensity to it, not unlike Bourne Supemacy ,The Matrix and Avatar movies. It's a meeting of wisdom's of the world with cutting edge science and technology with the main characters racing to save impending global disaster. I found myself drawn into the action immediately. The characters and plot are well developed and believable. It's beautifully written and I love the descriptions of the natural world and our connection to it .
I highly recommend you read it and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes one of 2013's most exciting and best selling novels
