A really solid read especially if you like thrillers with a conspiracy or military twist. This would be great for a long plane ride or trip. Get lost for a while with his characters and action (just pay attention as you read!)

The concept is interesting with a mysterious and potentially dangerous substance that has been hidden and now everyone is trying to find. I had a little trouble following at first. There are a lot of characters and the story jumps around quite a bit. As the story picks up, we end up traveling the world following clues to find the mysterious crystal. There is lots of action as Bryce ends up in the center of things, trying to make sure the crystal doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

Okay, this is an interesting book, in the sense that keeps you reading. And I like the mix of different mythologies and the concept of the story.
It's exciting, filled with non-stop action and (IMHO) a bit excessive in violence, but then, this is a thriller, and... well *shrugs* it happens :P
But my problem is with the characters: too many, for starters, and none of them I liked. If all of them had died in the last scene, I wouldn't have shed a tear.
But I did listen to the whole thing because it IS entertaining, and Mike Vendetti does a superb job with the narration.

Very interesting and well written. A bit violent. A crystal that could save the world or destroy it -- what to do?
