Call of Poseidon

by C.P. Bialois

Before Atlantis disappeared beneath the waves it was a thriving city populated by the descendants of Poseidon. To protect his children the Greek God of the Sea gave them a conch shell from his necklace. According to legend whoever held the conch could summon the power of Poseidon to do their bidding. With their island nation gone the remaining survivors went underground as they worked to build their nation back to the power it once was. A secret society wants what was once their property and they’re willing to kill for it. Their top assassin is sent to steal the Conch of Poseidon from the Museum of Natural History in New York. With two dead security guards left in her wake the Raven leads her pursuers through the streets of New York. As he is forced to face demons from his past police detective Floyd Reese is forced to deal with his own demons as he’s forced to work with a rookie FBI agent to solve the case. While he struggles to find a common ground with his new partner it quickly becomes apparent that there’s more to the case than the F.B.I. let on. The race to find the legendary artifact from Atlantis becomes a race to save the world from a madman. With forces beyond their imagining controlling the outcome one question is Can the powers of an ancient Greek God influence the modern world? Find out in the Call of Poseidon.

I'll be honest here and let you know upfront that I am married to the author. It was a long road to helping him get this book out and I am proud of the product he's released. I have always had a bit of a fascination with Greek mythology, so I loved that he weaved some elements of that into the story by creating a mythical conch shell that could summon the power of the ancient sea god himself.

I found myself having a hard time putting the book down, especially as the story reached its climax and was happy to see there were a few surprises thrown my way. I particularly enjoyed the relationship between Detective Reese and Agent Hawkins, which was contentious to say the least, leading to some great dialogue.

Overall, a debut to be proud of.

I absolutely loved this book have read it twice already. It is well written and flows well. I enjoy it when i feel like im there and can relate to the character and what they are going through. He is a amazingly descriptive author who takes his time to set up the scene so that you can see it in your mind as im sure he does. If your thinking about reading this book Do IT! you won't be able to put it down till its done.

Would have given 3 stars if it had engaged me from the start, but it took me a while to get interested in what might happen next.
