Liked this one a great deal better than the first one, while there's still some of the same jumps in logic there is an impressive detail of what would happen if one country tried to take out another in the Middle East. plot lines smooth, character development is getting stronger. ( ) The Lance by Alex Lukeman. Second book in The Project Series. A hidden World War II German bunker in the Antarctic, a lance purportedly used on Jesus’ side whilst he hung on the cross, a German Council trying to obtain the lance to fulfil the planning of Heinrich Himmler before the end of the 2nd World War, and members of The Project Group cho stumble across these plans and struggle to avert the start of the new Reich. It all sounds a little familiar in that there are many books with similar themes, but Lukeman’s creation is very fast-paced with mainly very credible characters, none of whom appear to be superhuman, although they are blessed with plenty of skills. The heroes of the story are Nick Carter and Selena Connor, ably assisted by a former SEAL Ronnie Peete. Carter too is a former SEAL, whilst Selena is highly accomplished in Ancient languages, something that does come in remarkably handy at times. They are members of the highly secretive Project Group, led by Elizabeth Harker, specialising in work authorised by the President, but bypassing the more well known agencies. I was a little surprised at how engrossed I became in the story, devouring it at quite a pace, and then downloading the next in the series. Well worth a look. 4 stars no reviews | add a review
