The Archangel Project

this is a barnburner of a storyline. very unique approach and excellent use of new orleans as backdrop of natures demolition versus manmade annilation of man for greed and power.

I'll admit there is no question which side of the fence these authors stand on, which in a way, is kind of surprising given the male half of this writing team's background. Up front, there is a good chance that fans of Fox News are not going to like this book. Despite some almost blatant political digs, this is a very good story and a well put-together thriller. The pacing is frantic, the characters engaging, and the ending well done, the way I was hoping it would turn out. The writing is pretty good too, except the authors tend to mix POV's and I think there were a few instances of author intrusion, but none of it was too overbearing or took away from the story. If this were a first time author, I would have been surprised to see them get away with those minor flaws, but then again, with the quality of some of the books I've read lately, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. On average, C.S. Graham's writing style is a few notches above what's out there right now. If you are looking for a fast paced thriller, and don't mind a "liberal" sprinkling of liberal philosophy, this book is for you. Highly recommended.

October "Tobie" Guinness, in an effort to better understand strange visions that have affected her life, and maybe find a way to use her "gift," has been working with Tulane professor Henry Youngblood and his remote viewer studies. When he is murdered and the killers with government badges and unlimited resources seem to be hunting her down too, Tobie has no idea why or where she can turn. Jax Alexander is a maverick CIA agent sent to investigate professor Youngblood's death-and the first thing he finds is that this is not a random murder. When Jax and Tobie pool their information, they discover this may be just the tip of the iceberg and that the conspiracy someone is trying to cover up has links all the way to the White House. The Archangel Project is an outstanding political conspiracy thriller. The story contains just enough true tidbits mixed in to keep it intriguing and the plot frightening. The book isn't pointing fingers at one particular person or party but illustrating a warning that we shouldn't be too quick to blindly allocate powers to the government without a way to defend our rights. Our government must contain a balance of powers as our founding fathers intended and checks must remain in place to protect us. I loved the story and the characters of Tobie and Jax. The book also contains a teaser for the next book in the series and I was delighted to learn that Tobie and Jax will still be featured. Both these characters embody characteristics we would all like to claim: loyalty, patriotism, and the willingness to stand up for what is right even in the face of death. The conspiracy plot is diabolical and a frighteningly real suggestion of what someone might be willing to do because of greed. This book presents a sterling example of the old adage that "absolute power corrupts absolutely!" I can't wait for the next book to come out and see what new plot Tobie and Jax will set out to thwart. Armchair Interviews says: Outstanding political thriller.

I met the authors of this book at a book festival in Baton Rouge, La. The gentleman half of the authors spent 20 years as Army Intelligence Officer. This book used actual classified programs that were used to train officers. The Remote Viewing Program and how successful it was in certain situations was facinating to hear about. This is a great read.

A big business, corrupt government, CIA conspiracy. The book jumps right into the story and the plot is fast moving and gripping. Tobie is a likeable, sympathetic, unwilling heroine who struggles to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. Excellent book, fun reading. Couldn't put it down.
