The Omega Factor
Just finished reading "The Omega Factor" by Steve Berry, published by Grand Central Publishing.
"The Omega Factor" is Berry's fifth stand-a-lone novel and it possibly launches a new series featuring UNESCO investigator Nicholas Lee, whose day-to-day job is to protect historical treasures.
"The Omega Factor" has too much in common with Berry's first book in his Cotton Malone series "The Templar Legacy." In fact there are two many similarities between the two novels with secret religious orders hiding for centuries within the Catholic Church, and lost loved ones ultimately joining the secret religious order out of devotion to duty and G_D.
I'm not going to recommend "The Omega Factor" because it doesn't offer anything new and it even fails to offer an intriguing new character. Nicholas Lee in a carbon copy of Cotton Malone, just with a less self-induced tragic back story and an odd aversion to guns due to a tragic accident when he was a child when one of his boyhood friends died. I couldn't help but feel that there was some box checking here.
Oh yes, and perhaps of interest. Amazon dropped the price of "The Omega Factor" by half - never a good sign for a book by a bestselling author.
Die hard Steve Berry fans will devour this book.
Sadly not recommended.
One Star.
