Summary: Great backdrop for a thriller
Review: Susan Milner
I love a thriller that approaches a horror novel in places, and a police "who done it" in others. The Vatican with its rich history, color, and tradition always sparks my interest.
It was appearant that the author had walked these same streets or he has a fantastic imagination. But the details were exact.
Also the psychology and technical terms used in therapy were well researched. Don't want to give anything away here.The boy was well voiced.
Nice read.

Summary: Classic good vs evil
Review: Take a graphic, homicide cop thriller and blend it with some spy thrills and top it off with some conspiracy, shake well and strap yourself in.
Daring-do heroes and heroines battling archfiends to save the world from a dark cabal bent of destroying everything and everyone within its reach.
Alias meets the X-files with a lot of historical backdrop.
I'd come back for more.
Reminded me of Jinn a bit but with more realistic characters.

Summary: Protocol-17
Review: The e-book I received was a partially edited piece with many of the editor's comments in parentheses and some lines in yellow over liner. There were many mispelled words and incorrectly used words. The work was the raving of a sophmore english major turned loose with a thersarus. I expected better of Amazon. Don't buy this piece of junk!!

Summary: Really Bad Writing
Review: The story's not the problem here -- it's the really bad writing. Although I have read books by worse authors, there haven't been many. The distraction caused by the ham-handed dialog and lexiphanic descriptions really hampers this book's ability to take off. If you're hard up for a good story, this book may do; otherwise, spend your money on a better author.

Summary: don't waste your money
Review: This book is a real let-down. Although it has an interesting premise, it never really takes off. The first half of the book reads like an introduction to many characters but you can't remember half of them, which doesn't matter cuz none of them are that important. Most of the narrative in the first half leads to nothing. And before you know it, the book is over. It's as if the writers spent a lot of time building up the book but gave up in the end and wanted to wrap things up and quickly as possible. Please don't waste your money on this book.

Review: This book was so bad that I left it under the bed at a summer beach house.

Summary: Horror fans will enjoy
Review: This is actually a light read. The plotline is complex but the story is a wam-bam in-your-face horror story. I recommend that you just sit back and enjoy the ride. On the level of entertainment it achives its goal. It terrifies and keeps you turning the pages with one cliffhanger after another.

Summary: Occult thriller and spys...
Review: This novel isn't for the faint of heart or those with a weak stomach. As it alternates from an occult thriller to a euro-thriller with a solid female heroine Mossad agent who teams up with a brooding detective, the body count rises and rises.
It takes some getting used to as it alternates between stylized gothic and lean and mean crime thriller writing, but the pacing holds you and it becomes an interesting balance. It reminded me more of Thomas Harris and Hannibal than Dan Brown, but it's crazy to compare writers, anyway.
If you like a unique origional story filled with a cross-section of Vatican conspiracy, ritual abuse, and even mind control ... give it a shot.

Summary: U.K. Author Shaun Jeffrey: intellectual thriller!
Review: U.K. author of Evilution Shaun Jeffrey: intellectual thrill ride!
Reviewer: from London, U.K.
Shaun Jeffrey, author of Evilution (Invisible College Press)
If you like conspiracy theories and intellectual thrillers, you cannot afford to miss Dark Protocols. Richard Weber writes with panache and an eye for detail that shows in the meticulous research he must have undertaken to write this book. Taking us from the Vatican to the mean streets of Chicago, the reader is transported on a terrifying odyssey, but is also left with a strange sense of, 'What if ...?'
The characters leap out from the page; they are people you care about or fear: A gritty detective in the form of Sam Goldstein; Josey Schulman, a beautiful Mossad agent, and the terror that is The Other. The author keeps a tight hold of the reins, letting the dark prose run at just the right speed, relinquishing control only to heighten the breathtaking excitement. A cultural excursion through the dark side of life. Read it at your peril.
