The Solomon Effect<\/a><\/em> (2009) C.S. Graham<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I picked up both The Archangel Project<\/a><\/em> and The Solomon Effect<\/em> after discovering they were written by the same couple who write the Sebastian St. Cyr mysteries as C.S. Harris<\/a>. After reading the first book, The Archangel Project<\/em>, I held off on reading The Solomon Effect<\/em>, since there are not currently any more books in the series.<\/p>\n

Set about four months after the events in The Archangel Project<\/em>, Tobie is called in to do a remote viewing after a WWII submarine is discovered missing. When she “discovers” the missing sub may be in Kalingrad, Jax (who remains on the DCI’s shitlist) is sent to check the site out. And against his wishes, Tobie, who was a linguist for the Army before her psych discharge, goes with him.<\/p>\n

Like the first book, the story deals with remote viewing–a procedure that was once used by the military (and in this series, still is to a very very very small degree). However, the heart of the story is discovering the submarine, and precisely what its cargo had been and why someone wants to get their hands on it.<\/p>\n

Even more unfortunately, the someone attempting to get their hands on the contents of the submarine seems to be connected to a terrorist threat that is supposed to go off on Halloween–just a few days away.<\/p>\n

Also like the first book, there is plenty of action, and although the main characters are a man and a woman, and Jax doesn’t believe in what Tobie does and thinks she’s a flake, we’re spared the “sexual tension” that most authors would write into the story.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness.<\/p>\n

Also like the first book, much of the source material is sourced, just going to show that the truth truly is often stranger than fiction.
\nRating: 9\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

I highly recommend The Solomon Effect<\/em>, as well as its predecessor, The Archangel Effect<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
