Quite a bit of scientific information in his novels. Unless you like reading in that vertical with archaeology, anthropology and scientific research coinciding, it would be a bit on the slow side. I read it long back.

I am learning a lot which is what is keeping me going. So far the plot seems to be predictable. Hope I am wrong on that.

Despite the obvious bright start and this is one bestselling book, I felt that the story was slow, pondering and not the best representative of the thriller genre.

Oh, I just quit on it as it got so very bad. I added it to the abandoned Listopia. My husband and I agreed that it is ridiculous! What a shame.

Here One Moment - very strange book about a woman who can tell the future and does so on a plane to total strangers who do not wish to hear when they are going to die. What is super weird is that so many on the plane pay attention to what she said. Australians must be very superstitious to pay a bit of attention to this nonsense!

"Suspended in the Stars" by E. A. Hendryx. It feels like she put Anne Wheeler and Philip Carlyle from the Greatest Showman and put them in a Star Wars setting. It's very interesting.What about you???
