A German submarine carrying a deadly cargo, lost during the final days of WW II has been found. The cargo aboard in the wrong hands could bring about the Apocalypse. Now October Guinness, possessing the gift to âseeâ events occurring on the other side of the world, has been paired with CIA agent Jax Alexander in order to find the submarine. Jax, having worked with October before, is still skeptical of her gift but has second thoughts as her âsightâ begins to prove itself amazingly accurate as the search for the submarine moves forward. What October and Jax don't know is that the person spearheading the recovery and use of the cargo toward its deadly purpose is closer than they think. The search will take them across the globe and into to the sights of killers who will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.
The Solomon Effect by C.S Graham is the second book featuring remote viewer October Guiness and her partner CIA Agent Jax Alexander. This is the first book I've read by this relatively new author and it was a pleasure to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys authors such as Brad Thor or Vince Flynn-action novels with a ample sprinkling of political intrigue. Graham has done an excellent job of creating two very believable characters: one with a bit of a supernatural gift and the skeptical partner who is forced to reevaluate his skepticism. I like the fact that much of the history mentioned in the book is based on fact, as noted in the author's notes at the end of the novel. An example is the XB class of German submarine, one of which did indeed sink off the coast of Norway with a toxic load of mercury and is an environmental threat. I feel it adds value to the book because the reader will learn as well as be entertained. If you are looking for an author adept at combining a little science fiction with action and politics, C.S. Graham is the author for you.

This was actually a very good book. I was surprised, because I'd not heard of the author before, but I figured it would neat to see what creative minds would think Russia's next trick may be. Turned out to be a complete new twist that I thought entertaining.
