This box set is fantastic. What a journey. If you read the first book you will be hooked so you might as well get the box set to begin with. What a storyteller. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. A must read!
What a delight. This series is well written, well researched and keeps you involved every step of the way. This is definitely the best series I’ve read in a long time.
I thought it was well written and kept me interested. However I personally do not like demonic themes. I can do friendly ghosts or even scary things but once it get demonic it weirds me out. So another person would love it. I had bad dreams so I stopped reading it but since I was already interested in the characters and the story it was sad to stop.
The History of Things to Come #1 – This is my first read by this author and I enjoyed the story immensely. The ultimate battle between Good and Evil, and the coming of the Tribulation. Mr. Simpson wrote a book worth reading, with his well thought out story lines; his well defined characters; and a large blend of history with fiction. The story is fast paced with plenty of suspense; some predictable episodes, but an entertaining, substantial book.
Unfortunately, he didn’t edit with a fine tooth comb, making mistakes that are noticeable but doesn’t stop the flow of the story. 4*
The Devil’s Architect #2 – Having read the first book, I was happy to find Devil’s was even better. Extremely intriguing, full of London’s history, ranging from the Druids to the Romans to the present, blended with stories from the Bible give the reader a substantial read that difficult to put down. Well written and thought out, the story lines are suspense filled with various events through time brought into play keeping the reader immersed in the pages. The characters are developed enough, and the main characters keep growing, to keep the reader’s interest; some are fascinating.
With owning the first book of the series, I contacted the author to review this book since the third book was available for review. He kindly shared this book with me and I was well entertained. Needs minor editing. Included are various bits of information used in the story; some repeated verbatim from the story, some additional; and all were interesting. 5*
The Logos Code #3 – A fabulous ending to an intriguing, mesmerizing trilogy. Well written and well thought with a wonderful blend of history, religion, science, fact and fiction. The story is difficult to put down and I relish having all three books to chain read. This is a substantial, interesting read and the research and preparation that the author did makes this series of books a must read.
The characters add to the adhesion of the elements composing the trilogy. The main set of characters have developed incrementally, while the supporting characters add depth and meaning along the story lines. The locations and artifacts are important characters, too, and the blending in of several religions add reinforcement to the story lines. The author’s vivid descriptions, along with the fast paced, action packed plot, and understandable, relaxed writing style reinforce the must read element. I received this after contacting the author to review his trilogy. 5*
Secrets from the Dark Horizon – Earlier, I forgot to write a review for this book, but it’s worth reading for the researched details. While most is in the three books above, it’s still an interesting bit after the trilogy is read. 5*
