review 1: Fairly early in the book our hero is chased out of a mountain estate, yet has time to start a helicopter and escape in it. One of his antagonists, who he had just knocked unconscious before fleeing, grabs the helicopter skids and shoots a hole in the gas tank before being safely brushed off by skimming over pine trees. So our hero crashes the helicopter, carefully affording a ski top restaurant, but unfortunately starting an avalanche and cutting the cable to the gondola. Fortunately, only the operator is in the gondola so our hero skis his broken copter down the avalanche, intercepts the gondola, gets himself and the operator safely out and skis the gondola down the avalanche to safety. No worries, no one is hurt by either the crash or the avalanche or the gondola destruc... moretion. Fortunately for our hero he has enough money in his wallet to send the grateful gondola operator and his girlfriend back to Australia in exchange for the operators promise to avoid mentioning that he saw him. So the grateful operator gives our hero a lift to his truck which he attempts to drive around Glenwood Canyon to the Eagle airport but wait! Now he's being pursued through the canyon by the other people that had captured him in the mountain estate...If this is your type of novel, enjoy it!
review 2: I have some bias toward this book, as it was penned by my uncle-in-law. Putting that aside, it really was a great story. From the start is is packed with suspense, action, and intrigue. Being the work of a psychology professor, there is a good amount of history strewn about, as well as plenty of mind games and twisting plots. Part of my bias is based on my knowing that the author has been writing this for nearly ten years, and spend a good deal of time trying to break entry into publication. This process started for him right about the time that "The Da Vinci Code" was just hitting the shelves. What this means, is that he was independently writhing this story about the same time that Dan Brown was writing his best-seller. However, it wasn't until summer, 2010 that "The Radix" was released. I would recommend this work to anyone, especially those with a love of history mingled with imagination. less
