Book Reviews of The Prometheus Deception
Book Review: A Fast Read for 509 Pages.
Summary: 4 Stars
The author can write is a huge understatement, the man has style. His descriptions of events, places, & persons can make the reader feel like he/she is there experiencing{breathing, smelling, & seeing it}, what he is reading. He deserves 3 stars just for that. Good action, but not in the over the top James Bond genre, more like the "Saint or Secret agent man." The novel opens in Tunisia, Abu & the technician are up to no good. Their plans are foiled & the former thinks the latter has betrayed him? The technician soon reappears as Nicholas Bryson an American undercover agent working for the directorate, an anti-terrorist group. He then is demoted & sent to Woodbridge College in Pennsylvania to lecture under the name Jonas Barrett. His life soon falls apart, his parents are killed in a car accident & his wife leaves him.
Some five years pass & his adventures start again, we go from a huge international munitions area on a ship to the most bizarre scenarios the author could dream up. The reader is not introduced to the Prometheus connection until roughly the last part of the book. Now the negatives, Ludlum at times bogs the reader down with too much detailed info which distracts & becomes predictable in revealing the plot. The ending was also oddly short, making me wish he had spent more time on it rather than all the minutia. Nonetheless, it is a good action packed, adrenaline novel.
