A fast paced and exciting book.
There is lots of adventure and action, plus the intriguing plot is a good change of pace from other books in this genre.

The protagonist moves from calamity to disaster to fresh hell at the speed the rest of us sojourn from breakfast to lunch to dinner. At times it is almost funny, perhaps is intentionally funny. However, the darling daughter, the contemptuous ex-wife, the not quite grown up main character are as if borrowed from central casting to fill the roles.
The story has a fresh sense to it-not the same old set of ideas despite the formulaic sequencing. In all likelihood for the author to see the work published, adherence to trite/tried and known to sell is something of a requirement. It would be good to see this writer break out of the mold.

Creator/Destroyer
Absolution: A Legendary Adventure Thriller by A. J. Roe is an interesting look at the concept of Creator, Destroyer, Recreator. Exciting treasure recovery, and a chase around the world.

It was not my favorite by any means. It had some fun storytelling and some good moments but overall I was underwhelmed.
