The Mayan Prophecy by Alex Scarrow
2.0
This book proves to me that the author stopped caring about the series. I don't know that I noticed anything specific my first time though. But here, on my second reading, there too much.
Adam shouldn't know anything since they rewrote the Voynitch Manuscript, excluding the code that he would recognize.
Maddie just refuses to change as a character. Every time she acknowledges a change in a person (Bob, Becks, Liam) she briefly reacts to it and then goes back to treating that character in the EXACT SAME WAY!
I hate to write this as I love the premise of the series, but it's like the author gave up. Hell, he didn't even keep the characters using the same vernacular! All of a sudden everything was written for a British readership. Every bit of slang was British.
Oh, and let's not forget the very, anti-American stance of foreign policy. I swear it's like Scarrow is going out of his way to highlight how America screwed up. Yeah. We did. But damn, we aren't the only jerks in this messed up world.
And, for extra credit, Scarrow hadn't bothered to keep his website up to date, though every single book preaches to the skies that you should follow the series online.
I love the premise of this series. The fact that I'm reading again says something. But damn. Have a little respect for your readers...
