I don't find this installment right for me, so I'll pass. The review is wonderful, nonetheless.

The author has done a splendid job on this topic about illuminati. It's quite a tricky one. Nice and honest review. Historical fiction is amazing.

Even today, everyone seems to think that the world has got a problem and they know how to fix it. I read a book that has a different viewpoint, one that I subscribe to: The world is perfect. Your mindset is the problem. This novel is captivating. I have read its summary, and I found it very intriguing. What becomes of Richard in a world laden with conspiracies and prejudices? And just how far back does the Illuminati go? It seems like a worthwhile read! Congrats on the BOTD

The author did a thorough research to have this book written, great job. I'm not a fan of historical fiction books, I don't think I will be interested. Wonderful review

The plot of this book is intriguing. One man alone took it on himself to foil the plans of the illuminati . I'm curious whether he'll be successful or not. It's really a worthy read.

The book seems like something I'd like to read. It's great when good people band together to fight evil, and when they come up with amazing ideas for making the world a better place. But if these ideas include occultism, the result could be terrible because it breaks things apart instead of putting them together. I'm curious about the origins of modern conspiracy theories about the Illuminati.

"The Illuminati Conspiracy" by Richard Rees is an excellent story stet in an era of world conquest and domination and it details the shadow plots prevalent during the French and British conflicts. Richard Machen, a naval officer on vacation, is drawn into the secret plan of the illuminati to cause mayhem. This is a historical fictional story that will become a page turner for most readers. The very obvious bias against the Irish by the British shows how brutal the British could be and why so many uprisings occurred. It is a very good book and an excellent review.

It is good to know that errors have been fixed, because while they didn't overshadow my enjoyment with the story, but considering that English is not native to me I did have to struggle. The book itself was great - creative, smart, interesting and illuminating. I am certainly going to re-read it at some point and offer my congrats with BOTD!

Over the various phases of human growth, development, and evolution, a lot of groups and movements have rose with various mandates. And just now, we have the Illuminati. I look forward to reading this book, especially to read more about the character, Richard Machen, and to find out what this book has to say about the Illuminati.

I've heard about the unjust way the British treated the Irish back in the day. Although I was not comfortable with it, I'd like to know how it applies in this book. Nicely written review.

I love it when authors write historical fiction but it's clear that they have done adequate research on the time and subjects discussed in the book. It makes the story much more believable and interesting to read. Thanks for the review!
