The Phoenix Egg

The action in this "government coverup" thriller starts off at over 100MPH and accelerates much like a launch from a Cape Caniveral pad. In this page-turner, the author expertly and deftly fleshes out and develops the two protaganists, John and Caitlin, who are in possession of what just may be the most startling and important invention ever created. As they learn more about the Phoenix Egg, in the layered manner that an onion is peeled, and struggle to stay one step ahead of corporate espionage thieves, international assassins and agents of secret governmental agencies, we are drawn into the desperate world of John and Caitlin. I am a fan of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt novels and heard this one would be like Dirk Pitt being in a Dean Koontz novel. Richard Bamberg's John Blalock is more interesting than Cussler's Dirk Pitt and the action is better described and faster pace. Blalock would kick Pitt's rear!

Enjoyable read with truly memorable characters. The author has created a book that forces you to keep turning those pages. The Phoenix Egg is set in the immediate future and is as exciting as a Bond movie with characters that touch the human spirit with depth and devotion. The ending leaves you feeling satisfied with all the loose ends tied up and the plot twist unraveled. Definitely worth reading.

Profound questions, engaging concepts, thinking processes, magic and miracles are all there in Richard Bamberg's new book. This is an action adventure book with a touch of science fiction and psychic mind magic. It's more then an engaging and entertaining read, it's an adventure that will have you turning pages for many pleasurable hours of reading enjoyment and wanting more when you're finished. The author can write! The premise is unusual. I recommend the book for your reading pleasure.

A high-tech, high-intelligence thriller, The Phoenix Egg is a page-turning suspense novel of the highest quality. Characters are well-drawn and believable. Plot moves quickly. I could hardly put it down.

This is the first novel I've read by relative newcomer Richard Bamberg, and it will not be the last. Wonderful techno-suspense, it hits the ground running from the first page and doesn't let up. A flavoring of today's - and possibly tomorrow's - science make the book more interesting than those same old authors you've been reading. The characters are enjoyable, even the minor characters are interesting. Be the first in your neighborhood to 'discover' this fun read! Highly recommended.
