4.0 out of 5 stars
action-packed international thriller, Feb 26 2008
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Sinai Secret (Mass Market Paperback)
The president of the United States is awakened in the middle of the night to meet with his top security advisors in the bunker because Iran fired nuclear missiles at Israel. However, as the missiles seemingly just vanish into thin air, the Israeli President calls his American counterpart to tell him not to worry and go back to sleep as he has no need to retaliate. The US president and his staff struggle with what happened.
Meanwhile Dutch scientist Dr. Yadish is visiting Bruges, Belgium when he is murdered just before another scientist Dr. Lewis is killed in Atlanta. The two have in common research into alternatives to fossil fuel funded by a foundation run by Lang Reilly. Trying to understand what is going on, Lang flies charter to Amsterdam, but is cleverly abducted at the airport. He escapes even as his kidnappers try to kill him. He continues to investigate with clues taking him to Tel Aviv as he finds another link involving a biblical era parchment that has people willing to kill to hide what has been unearthed.
The third Lang Reilly international thriller (see THE PEGASUS SECRET and THE JULIAN SECRET) is an action-packed tale that hooks readers from the moment the Americans realize the Israelis have some secret weapon that they imply comes from God. Although Reilly is too good at Houdini like escapes although they are exhilaratingly entertaining, readers will admire his dedication as he risks his life to uncover the truth and to prevent anymore of his grant scientists from being murdered. Thriller fans will appreciate Greg Loomis as it is no secret that he provides breathtaking novels.

Loomis does it again., Feb 15 2008

I will simply say that anyone who is a fan of Gregg Loomis, and there are many out there, this will not disappoint. This is quite possibly one of, if not, the best he has produced to date. If you are a fan of the whole "secret knowledge/lost wisdom/arcane knowledge tale" ala Dan Brown/Steve Berry/James Rollins/Matthew Reilly...then this book is definately up your alley...Gregg Loomis would fit right in there with these guys, and I highly recommend this and all of his books.

One not to miss!, Feb 19 2008

This review is from: The Sinai Secret (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked up this book after finishing "Pegasus Secret" and "Gates of Hades", hoping to discover another thriller that would be just as entertaining and exciting as its predecessors. Well, that's exactly what I got with "Sinai Secret"! Not only does the story showcase the author's intellect, but it also takes you, with many twists and turns, on an action-packed ride. Like all of the other Loomis books, this is a book I would recommend to all.
