Eric S. (Shooter) reviewed Formulaic, contrived, but some decent concepts on 6/20/2009

Helpful Score: 1

The author of The Archangel Protocol got a little too bogged down in the religiosity, in my opinion, and the book had some very formulaic parts to its initial plot line (former cop, now a PI, meets a stranger who gives the PI an offer they can't refuse to investigate, but there are plot twists). I didn't finish the book, just skimmed it towards the end to see if there was much original in this story. Plus, the idea of the populace of 75 years from now accepting that God/Angels exist simply because a cybernetic creature in the "LINK" can broadcast emotions... well, that's like someone of today thinking that God exists simply because Google Earth can see my house up close. No civilization, in my opinion, would become universally religious simply because of some new technology claiming to be angelic within a cyberspace environment. Just too much of a stretch.
