I am not a reader of fantasy, including not a believer in the extended lives of people allegedly a few thousand years.  This is what you get in this book of conspiracy. The author invokes those groups whose fame is spread on the internet: Bohemian Grove, Bilderberg Group, Skull and Bones, Ancient Order of the Illuminati, FEMA, HAARP, and so on. While there might be justification for believing HAARP experimentation is behind many so-called natural phenomenon in one thing, but . . .The beginning began slowly and choppy. Then the pace picked up. Then the pace slowed again, with the author's concentration on the science of bugging and long distance communication. He went on too long and too much in detail.His fastest scenes were those involving a $10,000-a-night hooker. Those scenes were fun-although they wouldn't have used up a whole night.The plot was okay, but it bogged down when it reached "looking for the friends." For the most part, I was forced to skim and skip portions of the story, particularly the end.If you are a dyed in the wool conspiracist, you'll likely enjoy this book. It will be up your alley. It wasn't up mine.I have to reveal that the author, whom I never knew or heard of, provided me a copy of his book and asked me to review it. He claimed to have read reviews I had written. He never told me which ones. Sorry, David. Had I had any idea . . .
