The Methuselah Project by Rick Barry

Book Review

The Methuselah Project by Rick Barry was a very unique story.  One of my favorite time periods is WWII and I love how this book was able to involve WWII and the present day.  This book was so unique and I loved it even more because of that fact.  Books tend to follow the same type of patterns so I can usually figure out what is going to happen before the books ends and because this book was so different from anything I have read before I didn’t figure it out until it was ending.  There were also parts of this book that made laugh out loud because of how the situation played out.  I loved this book and I would recommend it to pretty much anyone because it is one of those books that has a little bit of everything in it.

The Methuselah Project by Rick Barry

About The Book

Nazi scientists started many experiments. One never ended.

Roger Greene is a war hero. Raised in an orphanage, the only birthright he knows is the feeling that he was born to fly. Flying against the Axis Powers in World War II is everything he always dreamed–until the day he’s shot down and lands in the hands of the enemy.

When Allied bombs destroy both his prison and the mad genius experimenting on POWs, Roger survives. Within hours, his wounds miraculously heal, thanks to those experiments. The Methuselah Project is a success–but this ace is still not free. Seventy years later, Roger hasn’t aged a day, but he has nearly gone insane. This isn’t Captain America–just a lousy existence only made passable by a newfound faith. The Bible provides the only reliable anchor for Roger’s sanity and his soul. When he finally escapes, there’s no angelic promise or personal prophecy of deliverance, just confusion. It’s 2015–and the world has become an unrecognizable place.

Katherine Mueller–crack shot, genius, and real Southern Belle–offers to help him find his way home. Can he convince her of the truth of his crazy story? Can he continue to trust her when he finds out she works for the very organization he’s trying to flee?

Thrown right into pulse-pounding action from the first page, readers will find themselves transported back in time to a believable, full-colored past, and then catapulted into the present once more. The historical back-and-forth adds a constantly moving element of suspense to keep readers on the edge of their seats.

The Hollow Man by Paul Hollis

iRead Website new logo

The Hollow Man by Paul Hollis was a book that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book.  I love books like this one most of the time because it makes them super fun to read.  I love trying to figure out what is going to happen before the end of the book.  If I am being honest I couldn’t figure this book out before it ended and that means I loved it even more.  I was drawn to the main character from the first page and I had to know what happened and if he managed to figure out who was trying to destroy Europe.  He reminded me of Jack Reacher from the books written by Lee Child’s and since that is one of my all time favorite series of books I couldn’t help but love this book.  If you love mystery books than I know you will love this one!

The Hollow Man

About The Book

A terrorist’s plot, the assassination of a prime minister, holds the key to an apocalyptic plan to destroy Europe’s economy. It’s impossible to stop, but one man doesn’t know enough to think the world can’t be saved. He’s no hero; not clever or capable, talented or tested. The Hollow Man is just trying to survive in an uncertain climate where terrorism is changing the rules of how we live.
