The Project

review 1: Excellent first book in a series. Alex Lukeman combines my passion for ancient history with strong characters and non-stop action. In this book, he explores China's first emperor and his search for immortality and the Minoan influence on Tibet with Chinese Triads, a terrorist strike on America, and an attempted coup. His characters are well drawn. I particularly like Director Harker, an intelligent woman who leads a presidential secret project, and Serena Connor, a seventh-degree martial arts black belt who can hold her own with the ex-Special Ops teams she joins.
review 2: I almost gave up after the first chapter...I didn't like the act of violence in it (which if funny, considering all the books I've read that have similar scenes). I thought it was just ano... morether author using violence to write a book. I went on to chapter two, however, and I'm glad I did. There was more to this book than incidents of violence. Clever plot, interesting characters, and I learned about an ancient language called Linear A. I thought the author made it up, but I read more about it online. I liked the interaction among the various characters, the equality of ability between male and female characters. The description of the murals in the building in Tibet made me want to see them myself. And the author had a good editor, something that is sorely lacking in a lot of books these days. less
