Got this as a Kindle deal of the day and certainly didn't expect much going in, it sounded just too cheesy. But I was pleasantly surprised! Great literature it's not, nor does it aim to be. But if you want a well-written and -paced pageturner, mashing up army thriller, nazis, Egyptian pyramids, aliens and archeology, don't look any further than this. Really fun, fast, read that allows you to shut the brain off and enjoy.

Wow. Nazis and Thule movement, Egypt and the pyramids, Area 51 and UFOs, Easter Island, hieroglyphs and high runes, this book covered quite a lot of territory. Turcotte and Kelly aren't quite as memorable as the crew in the Nightstalkers novels (but this is the first book). A good read.

I am curious about part of the story line. In the chapters in the mid-twenties, General Gullick decides to move up the launch by a day. Somehow the "good guys" find out about this and end up on scene at the right time. I'm not sure how they found out about this.
