WOW!!! What a book! I just finished reading it. Its way past my bedtime but I couldn't stop reading. It kept me glued to my chair to find what really happened. How did it all come out in the end? I loved the characters Ben and Julie. The book is filled with events so current that we are reading about some of this stuff daily, or certainly weekly. There is adventure, danger, medical information and romance. This is a real keeper. One you will either want to read again or for sure will think about quite a few times in the near future. BRAVO and kudo's to the author. I will most definitely be reading some of his other writings. Most of the action takes place near Yellowstone and that is on the news quite often lately along with out of control bacteria, our CDC and the park rangers. ILf you want a book that holds your interest, this is it.

Dorothy on The Enigma Strain

I am a big fan of Nick Thacker. Loved this new book so much I almost read it in one sitting.New characters are always a challenge for me, I get very comfortable with book series and the way the characters and storylines adapt based on personalities.Jack and his family are very likeable and the storyline set on a Cruise ship was a great idea. So many options and corridors to explore as the adventure unwinds. The heart-stopping moments were just that, and like all of Nick’s books unpredictable.I will be interested to see how many of the new characters we met in this first installment will make it to the next book (or sixteen)!The story moves fast and what one thought was true might be……or it might not be! Suspenseful, engaging and an overall fantastic read from one of our great 21st century novelists.I received an advance reader copy of this book, and I am thrilled to leave a review and would definitely recommend it

Marie Markham on The Caribbean Affair

While this is the first thriller I've read by Nick Thacker, I have read a lot of Lee Childs and James Rollins. The Amazon Code is a fast-paced, page turner. I've read a lot of Nick's Sci-Fi and they were great!! This thriller has them beat. It keeps you on your toes, as a group of scientists go through the Amazon searching for a lost city, while being chased by killers who are after the same thing. You will have a hard time putting it down. Nick really brings the Amazon to life. So much so that you will think you are really there. There are so many twists and turns that surprise you and only add to the excitement. Nick is definitely making a name for himself in this genre. I will be going back and reading The Golden Crystal, although it isn't necessary to read to thoroughly enjoy The Amazon Code. I can't wait for the next one. You won't be disappointed if you like thrillers. The Amazon Code is definitely worth your time and money. Don't miss it.

Red48 on The Amazon Code

I have read the other two Harvey Bennet thrillers that Nick Thacker has written and they were great. Ice Chasm however is way above those two. Watch out James Patterson, Daniel Silvia and other thriller authors. There is a new guy in town! This book was so good I literally could not put it down. You have no idea what is going to happen next and are totally surprised at the twists and turns this book takes. How Harvey and the rest of the crew get out of the predicaments they end up in. You're sure they are dead, but Nick gets them out in the most unique ways. I am very much hoping that there is another book in this series. It was left either way. You can literally see Nick grow as an author from The Enigma Strain to The Amazon Code, then Ice Chasm. Keep up the good work, Nick. Don't miss one of the best thriller series out there.

Red48 on The Ice Chasm

Good Rollinsesque read, Thacker’s best to date! What appeared to be a one off with Thacker’s writing of The Enigma Strain was soon followed by The Amazon Code, then by The Ice Chasm. When I reviewed earlier Thacker books I commented that his writings were reminiscent of James Rollins. This book continues that thought! I'm a character reader, I get into the characters, their story, who/what they are. In this, the third Harvey Bennet book, the characters are well developed after 3 previous works. You can't wait to turn the next page and learn more about them, and the story line even more so! The suspense builds both in the characters and the story. No spoiler's here, though I will say I can't wait to read his next book!

Roger Fauble on The Jefferson Legacy

Fans of Clive Cussler will like this book. I was first drawn to Nick Thacker's books through an Amazon free book deal of one of his early novels. He develops characters that are believable, heroic, and human, i.e. they are flawed. I also enjoy the various settings for his stories. To me, Nick's writing gets better in each of his novels. He presents many plot twists and turns. Just when I think I know what is going to happen, something else occurs. The Paradise Key is no different. Ben, Julie, and Reggie go to the Paradisium theme park. The science in this park is very interesting. The concept of the park is also intriguing. The way Nick describes the park's amenities makes me want to go visit it.I definitely enjoyed reading this book!

Albino C. on The Paradise Key
