In The Eve Project the protagonist Ben Harris is confused about what is going on with his brother-in-law Roger Keswick for at least the first third of the book. As the reader, you will be too while the author keeps you guessing. Little by little you will discover what is going on.Nothing is as it seems in this story. Roger is not as crazy as he seems. The killer may not be who it appears to be. Even the people may not be who they say they are. This novel is most extra-ordinary in how the author can take something and logically make it to be something else.I did find it difficult at the outset to follow the story, but as it progressed, more and more pieces fit into place like a puzzle until the whole picture was completed. The reader will have to have enough patience to keep reading until the whole picture is finished. The story is very cleverly written.I think the science was a little far-fetched in this novel, but since I am not a science buff, and this is science fiction, that didn’t particularly bother me.One thing is for sure. The Eve Project is filled with unique characters. Ben suffers from something called B.C.E.D. (Bio-chemical Electrical Discharge). Basically he makes all things electrical go haywire whenever he gets within a few feet of them – televisions, security systems, telephones, coffee machines, ATMs, you name it. Roger is totally eccentric and claims there are little men living and working in and under his house. Then there are a couple of psychic old ladies, plus Roger’s new wife who looks just like his deceased wife Kate (who just happened to be Ben’s sister).I think you’ll enjoy this author’s wild imagination! It makes for a good read. I gave this book 4 stars out of 5.Thank you to the publisher for providing a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest exchange. All thoughts are my own.This review was published on my blog Shelf Full of Books [...]
