I read Ascendant when it first came out a couple of years ago, and I've been begging Sean Ellis to write the next books ever since. He finally has, and WOW.
Some people might get tired of the Atlantis story being rehashed over and over, but I guarantee you...

Robinson and Ellis attempt to out-Bourne Robert Ludlum, and in the process not only do that (and much more enjoyably!) but also out-Scarecrow Matthew Reilly. If you're looking for an action packed thrill ride full of mystery and suspense, look no further! The explosion on the co...

Now, if you don't mind spoilers and simply want a GREAT introduction to one of the best single characters in modern fiction, pick up GUARDIAN even if you haven't read any other CHESS TEAM book.
In GUARDIAN,...
