One thing I found incongruous was the fact that Sean travelled to Europe and stayed in nice hotels, even though it is stated that he has serious financial problems.
You are keen enough to "spot the not". 😉

Thanks for the detailed review.

I have read the first part of the book but it's too detailed that it makes the pacing too slow. It made me sleepy so I did not read on.

I don't usually read about UFOs. The sample was interesting enough though that I might reconsider.

I have always been fascinated by UFO stuff. However, as a Catholic, anything that involves my religion, fiction or not, discourages me to read it. I am skipping this one.

I don't know that I would be able to follow this one, it seems like it jumps around quite a lot! Congrats to the author on BOTD- Thanks for the free book! (And thanks for the review!)

Awesome review. Books about UFOs and aliens are not my type of books, but this one sounds very interesting.

A book about UFO's and history elements really aren't my cup of tea. I also find it really hard to follow books that are set in different places as it looses consistency, both figuratively and literally.

Post by CrescentMoon »

This book sounds so interesting. I really like the investigation into UFO crashes and the mystery. I love how there are interconnected plots and a surprising ending, I'm always sold on reading books like that. It's a shame about the numerous errors, but hopefully once the errors are cleared up, it will be a much better read. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Great review!

I'll pass on this one. It's a shame that it was published with errors. Those kind of things tend to distract me. Good thing your review was well-written, though.

This sounds like an interesting book. I like international thrillers with a historical angle. The plot sounds fascinating as well. Too bad there are so many errors in it.

Your review is insightful. I think the prologue really draws in the reader into the drama. I appreciate your honest critique of the problems with the book, including editing. It is refreshing, as many reviews ooh and aah over a story that I find disappointing to read. Well done.

There have been so many theories and urban legends about UFOs over the years, that reading anything about extraterrestrials can either be really exciting or boring depending on how people write and what aspects they follow. Based on what I read not only in the review, but the sample too, it sounds like this book will lean more toward the exciting end of the spectrum. Thanks for the input.

This sounds like an interesting book based on your review. I think I will have to give it a try. I usually enjoy reading stories like this one.
