The review was definitely insightful.what does the Vatican ,UFOs,Nazis ,CIA and cover ups have in common .The storyline sounds like a plot out of x-files.While I love a good thriller ,the historical aspect kind of put a downer in my interest in the book.Thanks for great review.

Based on the review this book sounds very interesting. I love the story line of alien encounters and government cover ups. I have always wondered if the government covers up evidence of alien life. Looking forward to reading this book.

Nazis and UFO’s definitely sound like a fun plot line. I’ll have to add this one to my list. I hope that the author has it re-edited so it can reach its full potential.

Great review! Sounds creepy yet intriguing! So pumped up for this one. Also heard there will be book-adaptation-to-movie, so excited. Definitely adding this to my wishlist. Mystery/sci-fi in one, UFOs and Nazi Germany with a character that writes about investigation books! Interesting! Congrats! To the writer.

Vatican Protocol sounds like a good read. The fact that some of it is at least based on historical events makes it more intriguing to me and I love a good thriller.
Vatican cover-ups have become fair game for writers ever since Dan Brown's Di'vinci Code so why shouldn't Brian Gallagher jump on board with this unique concept.
I love the fact that the hero Sean gets to chase the answer and throwing the Nazi's in adds another unique element. Looking forward to a good read.

The plot sounds interesting, but right away I questioned the discrepancy between the main character's supposed financial issues and some descriptions in the book that pointed in another direction. With the errors peppered throughout on top of that, I don't feel like I would be able to enjoy this book.

There is only one interpretation for a person spending in nice hotels. Either he is well off, or he is working for someone with deep pockets. Otherwise, it is impossible especially for a financially challenged person.
Or else, who does Sean say to be working for?
Thanks for your well-written review.

I don’t really read mysteries or thrillers, but this book seems like a good one that I could recommend to a friend. I really like the UFO aspect I feel like it really adds some character to this book.

Thanks for your review. UFO's and Nazi and Vatican cover-ups are not my thing but this sounds like a very enjoyable read for those that are into this type of thriller.

Not really a fan of stories that include aliens, but this one actually sounds interesting and not that far fetched so I might give it a try. It's unique that some of the info is based off real life rumors. Great review! (Also too bad about the editing but I'm glad it still deserves 4 stars)

This sounds like an exciting read! I'm glad you mentioned the plot device where the investigative team gathers to discuss their findings. This would be very helpful for me to track with the various characters and plot development. I look forward to checking this one out! Thanks for a great review!
