Book Review and Giveaway: Synarchy Book 2: The Ascension by D.C.S.
This unique series is bound to keep your attention with fast paced action.
Synarchy Book 2: The Ascension by D.C.S.
My Rating: 4.5
In this second book in the series we see a bit more into the backgrounds and personalities of the Terenzios, the Italian mafia family protagonists whom we met in the first book. We also see more of the misguided family members as the villains who are working with the controlling Brotherhood. Here too we find more aliens taking sides, including warrior angels, pixie or faerie angels, creatures of light (Pleiadians) and the reptilian enemies, the Anunnaki, and their messenger gargoyles.
The story is full of high, vivid emotion and fast paced action. The author does a great job with tight writing that seems to provide constant movement towards the climatic battle between the good guys seeking Ascension and the bad guys trying to block it.
I love how both books have quotes at the beginning of each chapter (something I like in books.) Here is an apt early quote in this book: "Some of the biggest men in the United States... are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." Woodrow Wilson.
The story lends itself to quotes observing political tyranny and self awareness which are quite remarkable and fitting. One thing the story put me in mind of, which I am sure it is designed to, is various conspiracy theories, but particularly those regarding the power, control and hidden evil doings of The Brotherhood.
After the climax in this story, and the loss of quite a few of the characters, I am really curious as to what happens in the next books. Of course I shouldn’t say the characters are lost as they have only transitioned to another plane or level and perhaps will be back as new characters if there is more reincarnation.
If you like a fast paced action thriller, with a bit of paranormal help in the battling, I think you would really enjoy this series!

Product DescriptionReview: I found both Book 1 and Book 2 to be well written with a uniqueness and intensity that kept me eagerly engaged.
"We're villains, as much as we are capable of being heroes..." A lifetime ago, Stefano Vasco Terenzio saw one way to maneuver his family into a game of betrayal against an unbeatable enemy; walking into a bullet. A generation later, what started with one man's ego will determine the fate of the whole word. For centuries The Brotherhood and their Gods, the Anunnaki have hidden in plain sight among us. For centuries they have lied, sacrificed man by the thousands, and manipulated humanity into their service. As the clock ticks closer to December 21st, 2012, they will stop at nothing to keep their control of planet Earth. In the thrilling sequel to Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening, the end is only the beginning. Secrets emerge that will challenge the core of everything you think you believe. All the while a team of scientists must make sense out of the fantastical, and the tenuous link holding together the one family that can save humankind, shatters.
In this second book in the series we see a bit more into the backgrounds and personalities of the Terenzios, the Italian mafia family protagonists whom we met in the first book. We also see more of the misguided family members as the villains who are working with the controlling Brotherhood. Here too we find more aliens taking sides, including warrior angels, pixie or faerie angels, creatures of light (Pleiadians) and the reptilian enemies, the Anunnaki, and their messenger gargoyles.

Book Review: Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening by D.C.S.
This book is extremely well written in intensity and flow. It gripped me and kept my interest from beginning to end.
Synarchy Book 1: The Awakening
by D.C.S.
My Rating: 4.5 of 5.0
Interestingly the story mixes survivors from Atlantis (who have cool household features), an Italian mafia family (with members who reincarnate in a third generation), the Brotherhood (aka Illuminati), and aliens as a form of god society who would enslave humans.
The mystery from the beginning drew me in. The characters are strong and the good guys (and gals) are likeable and the bad guys (and gals) are nasty mean. The Terenzio family will have to face off with those in control who want to stop humans from moving to another level, the Ascension, which is Book 2. Unfortunately not all the family are united and the upcoming battle for control will pit cousins against cousins and may even pit half-sister against brothers and sister.
Here is a phrase at the beginning of the book that may give you a flavor of how the author’s writing catches attention: “ His violent heartbeat added a menacing soundtrack to the images of his dream as they invaded his conscious state.”
There is a lot going on, with different family sides and support members. It did take me a bit to sort who was who and this book might be more easily read in print than on Kindle. But once I had identified the characters it was fine and the story moved at a quick pace.
I was offered Book Two of this series to review and thought it sounded interesting. Then the author sent Book One as it introduces the opposing characters and sets up the battle to come. I am really looking forward to reading Book Two for review post on November 24.

Product DescriptionReview: I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this, especially in light of the second paragraph of the product description. It doesn’t matter that I view this as clear fiction, and not a new realty (think Matrix here). It is really difficult to summarize the story but I can easily say that this is a very entertaining read.
A plan is exposed, centuries in the making and so sinister not even the legend himself could have predicted the depth of its impact on the world. In his lifetime Stefano Terenzio had a merciless ambition for absolute power. Two generations later the shock wave he ignited was still being felt. Now, as the world inches closer to 2012 sides are chosen, families divide and an epic battle begins that will determine whether mankind continues existing in a world of lies or shatters the chains that have held us prisoner since his-story was written.
Shocking yet hopeful, Synarchy slowly unravels the tightly laced reality we have created for ourselves. Blending the metaphysical with conspiracy, fact with fiction, debut author DCS has opened up a world that will force you to rethink everything you believe about your own. The knowledge within provokes the question: do you really want to know?
