I really enjoyed reading this. It reminded me of Dan Brown only better written and with less arrogance. The last chapter though was rushed, throwaway nonsense. It was as if the author had reached his word limit and had to tie the story up in a couple of pages. Bit of a let down as a result.

The mission log at the start was the perfect intriguing hook - something is happening to earth or the human race, and the possible solution is in space.

Fast paced, with a death in the first few pages. Predictable at times and wildly far fetched at others.

Interesting idea about King William after the untimely death of Charles and abdication of Elizabeth; only very brief but still interesting.

Succinctly demonstrates the dangers when one corporation has interests in a number of fields and are able to influence politics in many countries. This is a thought provoking point, especially in modern times.

Some books you can't help but give a gender to, which I'm sure irritates many people but The God Complex is definitely a man's book.

Overall well written, fast paced and action driven. A good example of the popular large scale adventure conspiracy novel. Just a bit too far fetched for me.

Justice: An Enjoyable Adventure!

For those interested in astronomy, ancient civilizations, the military, and thrills, look no further! I kept finding myself debating on whether or not I should read just one more chapter or go to sleep. The main characters were likeable and the plot stays interesting throughout. Plus, there are some fun facts laced into this fictional adventure that are really amazing to think about. I definitely recommend borrowing it on your Kindle like I did!

Ok, that was pretty cool! Until the very last chapters I didn't even know what I was wishing for. Who should win what would be the "right" ending. And in the end it definitely had the right ending, although very different from all the ideas that I had during the book. Very good, full of action, awesome characters and an interesting plot that was not foreseeable (at least for me). It was my first book from this author and I loved it.

I selected this book as my free Amazon prime book in July. I ended up not getting around to reading it, and I almost returned it in August so I wouldn't lose my August book. I noticed all the high reviews, so decided to read it. I ended up enjoying it, and I was glad I didn't return without reading. It was fast paced with a lot of twists. Sometimes I felt it was to quick, not in depth enough, but it worked for this book. I really liked the ending a lot! The epilogue alone made the book a 3.5 star to a 4.5 star, lol. Fun read if you are into sci-fi.
