The Council: Acquiring The Great Orbs
Adam, a government agent for the naval reconnaissance office, or NRO, has been tasked with the menial job of driving a cargo van filled with four large containers – contents unknown – to a burn facility. He has done this every week for the past two years. The job is far below his pay grade as an agent and Adam has grown frustrated. He has also grown increasingly curious as the secrecy and security surrounding his cargo load seem out of proportion to the job.
After a secretive satellite recovery mission led by Adam’s team, he finds himself the victim of an unprovoked attack that lands him in the hospital and being questioned by the police. Before he knows it, something has gone awry with the government mission of which he is a part and Adam is forced to try to put together the pieces.
As he slips deeper into the mystery surrounding the operation, Adam begins to realize that the contents of the containers in the cargo van hold great importance. Together with his colleagues and two elite military men they cross paths with, they’re forced to search for answers by crawling through military tunnels and dodging attacks. As time runs out, Adam races to discover the secrets of The Council and save himself, and possibly, the world.

This not the type of book I would normally read, but the author is a relative of my niece.
I thought it was interesting but at times it was confusing with all of the different characters, and a lot of jargon that took away from moving the story along. I would recommend this book to someone that enjoys sci fi and ultra military.

You won’t put it down...
I’m not much of a sci-fi fan but this book had me on my toes the whole time. The story was very captivating. I loved reading every word and I’m looking forward to the sequel!

The strength of this story is the story itself. It is a mix of aliens, alien tech and human military agencies that are sometimes the good guys and sometimes not. The plot is simple: acquire the orbs. Yet the plot is complicated and takes many turns, sometimes so fast and so exhilarating, you need to re-read the last section to catch your breath and figure out what’s happening.
Characters are not well developed, but may not need to be because the storyline is well developed.
The conclusion is superb and lends itself to future installments of The Council. The story does suffer from technical difficulties that are easily fixed, such as voice, tense and word choice.
