This was an over-the-top read in every way. Light, action-filled, with characters who were interesting to follow on their journeys but who didn't take themselves too seriously.

I enjoy the concept of remote viewing, and I thought The Men Who Stare at Goats was an excellent movie, so I picked this up hoping for more of the same. And while I thought the plot of The Archangel Project was decent, it also felt very formulaic and superficial. The bad guys were stereotypical (and not terribly bright) and the action scenes much too pat and convenient. I also never felt like the main characters were in any real danger. It seemed pretty clear how the books was going to end, and sure enough, the ending offered no surprises.

Still, this was a fun escapist read and as long as you can turn off your critical brain for a bit, you'll enjoy this one.… (meer)

From the Back Cover
"A German U-boat lost in the final days of the Second World War rested silent and dead in the deep waters off the Russian coast for more than half a century—carrying a cargo too terrifying to contemplate. Now it has been found and its terrible treasure liberated . . . by those who would set the world on fire."

The second book in the series, it continues and expands upon the same mix of secret agents and paranormal powers. This time, Nazis, lost German submarines, and the fall of the Soviet Union are thrown into the mix, giving the story an international scope and exciting, exotic feel.

In a manner slightly suggestive of Dan Brown, the authors base much of their work on real events. Additionally, the authors mine their personal experience in military intelligence and in writing historical mysteries. When they add fictional elements to the story, they create a book so rooted in reality that you want to believe it's true.… (meer)
