review 1: I really like Beyond Hades (The Prometheus Wars #1). The plot is fast paced and reeks of mythology, adventure and testosterone. I ordered the hard copy and was intimidated when I saw the mega 400 plus pages. But the book was an easy and enjoyable read. Ok, I did skip to the end to find out what happened, and then I read back to catch up.My one complaint is that women (aside from a creature) did not exist. Yes, it was great not reading about nubile teen vampires or brawny werewolves dealing with supernatural angst, but no females? Really? I wasn’t looking for a love-interest but even Apollo had his Athena. Just saying. My advice, enjoy the book but don’t cheat like I did!
review 2: I was excited to read my first book by Luke Romyn. I've followed his promotio
... morens for Beyond Hades for a while on the Internet. I had the pleasure to take part in one of those promotions and received a free copy of Beyond Hades. I kept it on the back burner and promised myself to read it later. I am happy to report that I got to finally read it and was glad I did. It is a fun supercharged adventure through time and space, with cool tech and even cooler monsters willing to swallow a man whole, body and soul. Emphasis on soul. There are are some terrifying creatures in this story.I loved Romyn's own take on mythology and how he brought it to the real world in a believable yet still godlike way. The main character, Doctor Talbot Harrison, goes through his own personal struggle though the whole story. Continually pushed by his guardian, Wes. Wes is the ultimate soldier and comic relief. You will love getting to know Wes.I recommend reading this if you love fun and adventure. The action keeps coming and the tension keeps building until the final battle that is really well written. Romyn lays out the scene and the camera in your mind will take it from there. You will not be disappointed. less
