Lack-luster "political thriller"

Okay-ish novel, but barely political story it claims to be. Constant reflection to current US politics and food items from our world takes you out of story, not what I look from a galaxy far far away...
Bail's and Mon's interaction is the bright spot on this book. Bail's pig headishness is painful, while Mon's trip is better feels forces. The author fails to understand the source material, ending with two dimensional stereotypical characters. Wants to be James Luceno's Darth Plagueis, but misses the mark.

The book begins by stating it focuses on science and not on philosophy... It is barely philosophy and definately not a science. God and Jesus is invoked, drags on top of that the dead and occult, which it is quick to attach on other similar topic books. The message is: believe you're rich and you shall be because universe wants it.

Following review covers all three books.

Lacked the mystery and detective work of a Sherlock Holmes story. Complete misunderstanding of Moriarty as a Holmes villain. Lovecraft mythos seems to at level of Wikipedia articles, almost all of it something else than envisioned within mythos. Doesn't work as either Holmes or Lovecraftin story.

Dennis Kleinman does excellent job amd makes it bearable. Lovegroves books on same style work much better.

First of all, not a bad book. It's not a history of ancient Egypt, but a archeological and architectural history of ancient Egypt. Individual pharaoh gets on average 2 minutes of talk times and mostly it is "He built this", same goes for egyptian mythology.

Bob Brier is truely an enthusiastic speaker, but he repeats words and sentences constantly, which amounts over an hour worth of the time in this book/lecture. Also his opinions and preference towards Egypt colors the lectures, especially towards the end of the book.

Nice to know stuff for tourists or "I wonder how they did" -people. But it ain't history of Ancient Egypt, save for about 3-4 hours worth in total.
