Product Description
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?
Review:  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.

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.
