Re Official Review of "Vatican Protocol" by Brian Gallagher.
I thought the reviewer provided a thorough and comprehensive opinion of the book.
It makes you wonder about all these so called cover up's of UFO's sightings around the world. If they are true it is a worry
I admit i am fascinated by conspiracy theories and UFO'S.
I will have to read the book.
Congratulations to the reviewer on there excellent review.
Also congratulations to the author.

An excellent review. I am glad the errors in this book did not affect the rating at the end. A nice SciFi mystery to brighten a dull weekend. Well done!

Interesting topic and the setting in the Black Forest would probably make it an interesting read. The author paints a stunning portrait as he weaves the intriguing story. Your review was informative and I will probably read this book. Thank you.

UFO crashes mixed with Nazis and the Vatican? This read sounds quite amusing. It's a good thing the author keeps a good pace throughout the book. Too bad about the incongruities! Thanks for the review!

I like the UFO aspect. I'll admit, I have a hard time keeping track of a lot of minor characters so I might struggle with that bit. The sample was intriguing. The author's writing style is very compelling. I appreciate the review. It helped me see where the story was headed. I really don't like when someone is described as having financial troubles but then they stay in nice hotels or eat in restaurants. I relate to being broke but that's not it.

Interesting book there. Conspiracy theories, UFO, aliens, massive cover up by the Nazis and the Vatican, puzzles pieces that interconnect seamlessly and people who turned out to be dead after asking questions about UFO sightings............really interesting .I definitely want to read this book. Thanks for the lovely review.

Sounds like a fascinating book! The sample grabbed me immediately and I’m glad to read that the plot continues at the same quick pace. Seems like a plot out of an x-files episode... right up my alley! I’m not even discouraged by the large number of characters.

Oh wow! I definitely enjoy the way this book sounds already! I love books that involve a cover up, especially when the Vatican is involved like Angels and Demons or the DaVinci Code so this sounds just right for me.

A conspiracy that connects Nazi's and the Vatican? In today's political atmosphere, that almost sounds like a parody.

Great review! I love historical fiction with Nazis, and with Vatican conspiracies — this one has both! Sounds like it will be a fun read.

Thanks for the review. I like that you felt that it was easy to follow along because sometimes when there are many different places involved it can get very confusing on where the scene is taking place. I do find it curious that you gave it four stars since you found it incongruous about the nice hotels and all the technical errors and the fact that the character would be referred to Sean and the O'Shea within the same paragraph. That seems more than a half star deduction to me, although I don't know if this was just an unedited final version or an actual copy that was ready for release, but that seems to be enough for at least a one or more deduction of stars if there were that many...but that is just my opinion.

I've only seen the extract, but it's already clear that the author is very good at setting a scene and atmosphere. I'm not a UFO fan, so maybe I'll wait for the film.

This book seems to be pretty interesting. The Nazi, the church, some kind of conspiracy as they were trying to cover the UFO crashes, the information about which proved to be deadly as four people who asked questions about them turned up to be killed - all this promise to be an exciting and engaging thriller.I will definitely put it on my Want To Read List. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!
