David Leadbeater's mind races far ahead, down the track, to battle demons, rewrite God legends, and oddly enough, to give us a different president in the form of Benjamin Franklin. We know the French loved him, but using him as a past US president stretches the time warp thin.Thus is an epic adventure loaded with well rounded characters, fast moving action and it is liberally laced with mythical mysteries, thrilling suspense and searches for hidden treasures. Bullets zip through the air. Chunks of rocks shower enemies. A vast Rocky plateau holds a mysterious staircase and a giant throne jutting out from a rock wall.This adventure is set just three weeks after J.F. Kennedy's death. Despair filled most at thus time but Matt Drake 's fuse seems shorter. Drake fights battles alone. He's short on speech but long in action."The hate in his heart burned brighter than molten steel." Wow! That's a gut wrenching opener!Heroes brave enough to take down the Blood King, an international terrorist leader, are desperately needed. Willpower, glory and strength are unleashed. We can only hold on for the wildest scope of intrigue yet. Terror plots are foiled. The third tomb is filled with terrible, evil, nasty gods. It is on par as a doomsday weapon.Even Waikiki Beach becomes a place for dangerous people and harsh revelations. The heavy surf whispers old secrets, all the songs of the ancients.
