The Message

Loved it! Thrillers are so much my thing, and this one kept going at breakneck speed. The love story is itself in constant peril, but that is nothing compared to the peril brought to the hero and heroine by the almost-chance discovery of both an ancient riddle and a modern rebellion-for-profit scheme. At first I was a little worried that it would be racially slanted, but he does not slip into the error of assuming the natives are stupid because they are of color. In fact, each race he runs up against are worthy opponents, and are not easily conquered. The mystery is strung out throughout the book, nearly as long as the suspense is.
