Library Journal

Our dashing hero will deftly extricate himself and his equally capable buddy from a seemingly endless series of scrapes as the two traverse the world foiling a plot for global dominance engineered by a megalomaniac with a brilliant plan, unlimited resources, and secret ownership of antiquity's greatest treasures. Expecting Dirk Pitt or Kurt Austin? Guess again. Meet Scotsman Connor Brock of ICE (Investigation of Corporate Espionage). Brock has all the trappings of a modern action hero: special forces training, a broken heart, charm, and good looks. Although this debut novel from Cole (a pseudonym for the author of eight business and self-help best sellers) is more British in tone and phrasing than most American audiences may be used to, the action is compelling enough-with exotic locations, history lessons, and thrilling action scenes-to forgive such occasional dissonance. Readers have three other books to look forward to in the Connor Brock adventure series. Recommended for most popular fiction collections.-Laura A.B. Cifelli, Ft. Myers-Lee Cty.
