I found Brad Thor's The Athena Project an enjoyable quick read. His characters are interesting and his plot moves forward quickly. He states on the page before the first page of text, that "the science in this novel is based on reality". I find that a frightening prospect after finishing the book. The research and experiments used in the plot are from World War II and the Nazis. Mr. Thor writes in the manner of Vince Flynn and Brian Haig. I believe Mr. Flynn was the best writer of this type of thriller genre and has no equals and I enjoy Brain Haig's smart mouth main character, Sean Drummond immensely. Still I enjoyed the rapport between Mr. Thor's main characters; Gretchen Casey, Julie Ericsson, Megan Rhodes and Alex Cooper.
