What an interesting and entertaining concept this high-stake thriller gives us. A story with cutting-edge science and an unforgettable adventure into the heart of ancient mystery. The main character in archaeologist David Birch who can be described as mix between Dr. Henry Jones Jr. in” Indiana Jones and Robert Langdon in” The Da Vinci Code”.
In “The Cosmos Keys” we are in the depths of Turkey’s ancient underground city of Derinkuyu where David Birch unearths an intricate bronze object. He turns to renowned expert on ancient technology, Eleni Lillakis, for help. Their search brings them across Europe but they are not the only one seeking this mysterious artefact…danger awaits at every turn. No force will keep David and Eleni to unravel the secrets behind the Destiny Machine before it is too late for humanity.
The author’s background in archaeology shines, no way to deny that his experiences and studies are behind this story. I find it to be a bit overwhelming at times, my lack of knowledge in Greek historical and religious beliefs definitely did not help. Although the author played well around the subjects by giving us an adventure filled with some excitement.
As for the pacing it keeps a steady tempo even when extensive explanations on history, mythology are at the forefront. In hindsight, not my favourite parts I have to admit that I skimmed pretty fast over some.
I like the characters they are well define and their action visual. I could really imagine their every move. Reading this book I though I was watching a movie on the big screen, popcorn and a soda beside me....dream on.
What a crazy concept ….a contraption that can foresee catastrophes…doesn’t this pique your interest…..
I received this ARC from the Book Whisperer for my thoughts: this is the way I see it.
