Eden Black Archeological Thrillers #2
The Giza Protocol
When an undiscovered temple emerges from the waters of a drought-stricken lake, the world of archeology starts to pay attention.
On the discovery of a set of hieroglyphs suggesting the location of an ancient power source so abundant it could boil the world’s oceans dry, a lot more people start to listen.
Enter EDEN BLACK.
With forest fires, droughts, and famine worldwide, Eden and her band of unlikely heroes must move quickly to make sure this lifeline for humankind doesn’t become another asset for the super-rich.
From Lake Nasser to the labyrinthine tunnels beneath The Giza Plateau, Eden will find herself trapped in the crosshairs of a tycoon on the make, an enigmatic secret society, and a foe who’s closer to home than she could ever imagine.
While there's loads of conflict, chase scenes, fighting and suspense, The Giza Protocol contain’s no swearing, sex or gore.
Meet Eden Black The daughter of a world-famous archaeologist, Eden Black’s no stranger to mystery and legend. But success has its cost. With each of her father’s discoveries, his profile grew, and so did the unwanted attention. At a very young age, this taught Eden a everything comes at a price, nothing is quite what it’s made out to be, and hanging out with the rich and famous really isn’t Eden’s bag. Working out of her truck, hidden deep in the English countryside, Eden now only has time for one thing — smashing through the corruption which surrounds the world of art, antiquities and archaeology. She’s on a mission to find and return the world’s missing wonders to their rightful places.

Always enjoy this authors books and I can genuinely say that with each book his already great writing gets even better, the plots more intricate and the thriller feel even more full on
We are back with Eden Black for this archeological thriller that deals with relics that if found could potentially change the way the world lives, again as I said last time archeology is not my number 1 choice of thriller reading but this is done so well, the history and facts so well presented that you are picking up info and learning about history as you read but in a non boring, exciting way
The characters as always are well defined and each very different and bring something unique to the story
It is a fascinating book and I felt it was realistic even though improbable, but is it…??
Roll on Eden’s next adventure

4.5 stars.
In wine tasting, people like to describe the wine as having various overtones that relate to fruits and sweets. For Luke Richardson’s Giza Protocol, I would say that it has fictional, archeological overtones of Ernest Dempsey (Sean Wyatt), Christopher Cartwright (Sam Reilly), and Matt James (Jack Reilly) with a Lara Croft-like lead character who is trying to uncover a variety of ancient artifacts in the Egyptian desert. She hopes that at least one of these items will provide a safe, low-cost solution to world energy problems.
When I mention “overtones” I am referring to the way the story progresses, the dialogue among characters, and the type of events the lead character finds herself in. It is an interesting story that readers who enjoy the above listed writers, will enjoy.

The second in the Eden Black thriller series takes the heroine and crew into the secret realm of ancient Egypt. Despite centuries of archaeological searches and discoveries, the Giza Plateau has yet to give up its most exciting finds.
What Eden and her team need to do is uncover and translate hieroglyphic texts to gain access to vaults buried underground and locked by water hazards and huge rock slabs. Find the counter balances and the slabs can be unlocked to a power source to benefit all mankind.
Well written and packed with action, this novel is a worthy addition to the series lore, and sets the scene for more adventures to follow.

I enjoy authors whose writing gets better with each book, the characters continue to grow and evolved, the plots become more carefully crafted and intricate, and the thriller feeling increases. This is true of Luke Richardson’s Eden Black Archaeological Thriller series. I greatly enjoyed the first in the series ~ “The Ark Files” ~ and the second in the series ~ “The Giza Protocol” ~ is even better. I am admittedly a real sucker for Archeological thrillers, quests for ancient objects, myth related stories, and the like. Yes ~ I loved Dan Brown’s books; Yes ~ I loved and rewatched Indianan Jones movies several times. Happily, the Eden Black Archaeological Thrillers fit into this genre quite well.
Our protagonist is professional treasure hunter Eden Black, a Lara Croft-like lead character who is trying to uncover a variety of ancient artifacts in the Egyptian desert. Eden and her team must venture below the Giza Plateau to find the greatest treasures of all, before a mysterious shadow group take it and destroy all who stand in their way. They both try to find this artifact that has been buried for many, many centuries.
“The Giza Protocol” is a fascinating book and reads quickly with its carefully crafted plot. The characters as are well defined and each has their own different characteristics. I especially enjoy a smart, intelligent female protagonist, and the Laura Croft-like Eden fits what I do enjoy in a book.
Still, some will unquestionably say the story is unrealistic and improbable ~ true. But sometimes we need to step back and just enjoy the ride like with Reacher, Bourne, or even James Bond. I will start the third in the series soon; a solid 4 or 4+ from me.

I would like to thank Luke for my early ARC copy for an honest review.
My 5 * review:
If you are after a female badass to rival Lara Croft then Eden Black is the one to cover your back!
Eden is sent a cryptic clue to uncover the ancient tablets of the undiscovered Ark of Covenant.
Is this just a rumour or is there something that no one has discovered for thousands of years?
Eden is still feeling the loss of her father when she is approached by his long time friend Professor Beaumont to ask for her help to discover the long lost artifact that could change the world forever.
Lulu King wants to rule the world and she will do everything in her power to do so. Discovering the artifact is her main goal and nothing or no one with stand in her way.
The secret society of The Council has been around for thousands of years to try and stop the greed of humanity to take gain for their own gratification and power.
But when things start to fall into the wrong hands it's up to the leader of the council Helios to take action but at what cost?
An explosive and exceptional archaeologial thriller that will leave you gasping for breath and wanting more.

This is the second book in the series and focuses more on Egypt which I enjoyed as I've always been fascinated by ancient Egyptian history and culture.
The bad: While the book is interesting, I feel that the editors took a long nap through it. The are repeated sentences and passages as well as grammatical and spelling errors. The book takes a lot of liberties with history and I was deeply disappointed to see the author included a note at the end encouraging readers to check out Graham Hancock and other pseudoscientists for their interesting theories as if there was any validity to such muck. Some of the interactions felt a little wooden. Eden is supposed to be our heroine and yet it feels that Helios (completely UNSURPRISINGLY identified as her father) is always one step ahead so is she really getting to change the world here?
The good: It's fast paced, the mysterious elements are fun, the ongoing story is intriguing and the series touches on a lot of lost civilizations that are fascinating to experience in a fantastical and fictional way. These are great airport or beach reads.
Overall, I'm enjoying the series and looking forward to the next one.

Nice adventure and relaxing read but finding the artifacts was way too easy
I would probably give this book 3.5 stars if I could. I liked the characters and became friends with them as I proceeded through the book. I enjoy books about the pyramids and various theories regarding them. I also like shadow organizations especially if they are good as in this book. Also, the author does a good job of writing some very intense scenes.
All that said, it seemed way too easy to find some of the world’s most sought after relics. One relic, in particular, has great religious and cultural significance and has been missing for thousands of years. Eden Black and friends find it easily and the book really does nothing with the amazing find. It may be addressed in a future book but just odd the way this amazing artifact was sidelined.
This was my first Eden Black book and probably my last.

1987 Cairo, Egypt. Trying to better his family’s life, Mohammed Muhr seeks to uncover a religious treasure but is betrayed by friends.
Present day: While waiting for the Ark tablets to be deciphered. Eden Black has been spends her time helping a a small village in Nepal Finally she gets the expected text and a black helicopter arrives to bring her home.
Meanwhile in New York, Oil and Gas tycoon Raymond King is also betrayed. And a plan for a change in energy production begins.
A few mild surprises. Happy there was less escapes and a bit more story plot in here, though the action is interesting. I like the way Eden is completely off the grid except for technology she can control.
Fave scenes: Helios guiding Beaumont, the shark, the line of orbit and Tarzan Athena.

Howling!
Exciting action adventure with credible female lead character. The helicopter scene was especially badass! The cat and mouse with Lulu, intriguing. The supporting characters are well-defined and wholly necessary for the plot development.
This is my second Luke Richardson book and the sequel to 'The Ark Files', both equally good. The main character's motivation in the first book is clear, the murder of her father, which drives her through the subsequent archeological hunt and discovery. I found it curious that there was no similar motivation in the sequel. Some of the descriptive writing gave pause: a number of 'howling guns' and 'barking horns', seemingly way off target!

Intriguing
The story line is exciting and maybe even plausible. I enjoyed this book a great deal. I do wish that the author would find some new descriptors and watch carefully what is meant in some places. I especially recommend getting other words for hissed and padding, finding their overuse annoying. Also the idea of betrayal bubbling within suggests she is coming up with betrayal to perpetrate. I think he meant that she felt betrayed and irritated or maybe angry because of having been betrayed. I do recommend reading it, however, and I plan to read the next in the series.

What a thrilling story! Eden has fire in her veins and does everything she can to help people and bring justice to those who did not act according to the law. She goes to Egypt to discover what is the mystery that made her mentor kidnapped and dragged to the country. The story is captivating as the author's descriptions of people, places, and situations are so well made that I felt like I was seeing everything like watching a movie. A great story, with a good plot, and lots of action and mystery. Great entertainment!
I thank the author for the ARC.

This Series Gets Even Better!
With all the ducks starting to settle into a row after a wild run, Eden and her now viable compatriots begin work on Phase II of the " Master Plan".... With more obstacles likely to emerge at any moment to thwart humanity's shot at a clean and renewable energy source, our heroes are prepared for the onslaught. But, a question remains unanswered....who exactly is Eden Black or maybe "what" would be a better query? Next book is already in my hand! Once again, great read, Mr. Richardson!

An Eden Black thriller. I guess the heroine is supposed to be like a Lara Croft but she came across as kind of cold and not all that likeable. The plot was a little too far-out there to be believable. It really dragged towards the end and I was literally falling asleep. I normally love action/adventure/exotic locale types of books like this, but I just couldn't ever really get into this one. The plot mentions characters and events that happen in past books and I expect they will continue into the next one but afraid I won't be reading any more in this series.

The possibilities!
Oh, what possibilities of truth versus fiction exist in this book! I love action that intertwines facts and fiction in such a way that the two are impossible to distinguish. This gives the author the freedom to let his or her imagination run wild, and this book does not disappoint! The characters are wonderful, the prose is beautiful, and the plot is amazing! This is an exciting read whether or not you buy into any validity associated with the book. I lIke that the book stands alone, but I look forward to reading more of this series.

The first chapter of this novel was so gripping that I wanted it to go on forever. It also allowed me to put aside it blatantly obvious flaws that, page after page snowballed into a huge dislike for the story. The characters were all to perfectly good or evil to believe they were real. Their motivations and knowledge seemed to spring up out of the air without any reason. The setting for the story was too overwhelmingly fantastic for me to swallow. I quit reading about halfway through the book.

Another fun read…
If Indiana Jones married Lara Croft and they had a daughter, she would be Eden Black. The adventure continues in a corny and predictable way, but it is an attractive type of corn. A fun diversion that is fast paced enough to keep you locked in till the end. Also a good setup for a long series. Excellent character development, enough action and plot twists to keep it entertaining and just plain fun!

I definitely liked this story more than the last one. It was pure Indiana Jones with plenty of ancient puzzles, traps and treasures. Wow! Of course, it was a bit on the farfetched and over-the-top but that made it all the more fun. I like Eden and her sidekick Baxter and hope to see lots more of their adventures in the future. If you enjoy this genre, you might want to give this book a try. Recommend reading the first book in the series before this one, though, as this book books on the last.

Another Pulse Pounding Adventure
Eden has more than her fair share of death defying adventures and this one is filled with the further surprise of folks from her past miraculously returning from the dead. We have Egyptian artificers pre dating religious artifacts and the story spins out from there. Money, guns, helicopters, murder, deception and self discovery, all the elements needed for a wild tale. No a wait as Mr Richardson finishes penning “The Atlantean Agenda”.

The story continues to improve
I thought the first book in this series was too good to be able to be improved upon, but then I read this one and stand corrected. The plot continued to thicken and develop further and now I can't wait to begin the third book in the series in the morning. I can't imagine what it'll add to the first two so so I'm even going to set my alarm so I can begin it as early as possible.

The good guys win again.
I had some questions about this one, as in the timing - the Great Flood preceded the Ark of the Covenant by many, many centuries. The plot is full of fantasies, outrageous actions, incredible escapes from death-defying situations - in fact, quite unbelievable! Just the thing I needed to read right now, so that’s two Eden adventures finished.
Keep them coming Luke!

I love the Eden Black books. I really like the fact that she does get satisfaction and does not always loose to fight another day. There is a lot of depth to the characters and I do love archaeological thrillers. I especially like seeing some of the bad people get what they deserve.
These books have good content, are extremely entertaining and are fast reads. I read a lot of big, really long books so I like to be able to pick up a good, fun book and read it in a few days.

Eden Black embarks on a new adventure, this time traveling to Egypt in search of the storied Ark of the Covenant. Alongside an unlikely cast of supporting characters, she uncovers secrets that have been buried in the sand for more than 3,000 years!
This was a decent book. Like the last one, it’s sort of a National Treasure meets Indiana Jones story. It drug a little through the middle, but it was overall entertaining.

Eden Black and her partners are exploring the underground to find the buried vaults looking for the Ark of the Covenant. Lulu King has them followed into the sewer. But Eden tricks them and gets out a different way than they came in. Lulu and her bodyguards follow them again when they find a hidden room. A helicopter chase at the conclusion keeps you on edge.

After loving the first Eden Black novel with a fiery passion, I was most eager to get my hands on THE GIZA PROTOCOL.
And it was glorious.
This time Eden travels to Egypt, a country I’ve explored, and adored, myself.
Luke Richardson did a splendid job with the mystery and the characters and I enjoyed the novel immensely.
Highly recommended !
And it was glorious.
This time Eden travels to Egypt, a country I’ve explored, and adored, myself.
Luke Richardson did a splendid job with the mystery and the characters and I enjoyed the novel immensely.
Highly recommended !

This is the 2nd book about Eden Black and the author continues to throw twists and turns in Eden's way. Just when I thought I knew what was happening, there would be another roadblock that Eden and company would have to get around.
I like how the author shared at the end how he researches as well as gets ideas for books.

Luke Richardson is now one of my favorite authors!
His books combine action and history in unique ways!
Love his characters!
There are secret societies manipulating the world!
Historical treasures to be discovered!
Don’t know how the author has read so much that interests me!
Tesla, Edgar Cayce, Ancient Alien theories, Egyptian history, Greek and Roman history it’s all amazing!

Great read no space filling waffle
Good well thought story hinged on things we know and things we suspect about people thousands of years ago.
Bit I didn't like introduction of wheels at one point .when it's well known that the wheel was alien to that culture.
Some other mechanisms should have been postulated.
