REVIEWING TODAY: VATICAN PROTOCOL BY BRIAN GALLAGHER
Vatican Protocol by Brian Gallagher pulls from several popularly supported and media reproduced claims regarding secret conspiracies, UFO sightings, cover-ups, governmental intrusions with inordinately heavy-handed tactics, including a particular focus on the religious abnormalities perpetrated by the Vatican as represented rather exhaustively in the best-selling – The Da Vinci Code. To top it off, the plot begins with Nazis. Sean O’Shea is a contemporary American author searching for that elusive blockbuster plot that will shake up the entire world. Learning the background details of a UFO crash in Germany’s Black Forest in 1936 sets him on the trail of his ultimate dream story, but also enmeshes him dangerously in the elements of darkest intrigue involving Vatican dark projects, clandestine CIA activities, foreign police corruption, and the unwanted attention of being targeted by trained assassins.
Brian Gallagher does a good job of keeping the momentum high in his novel Vatican Protocol, and he creates a rather plausible story line to move the plot along. His writing holds to the traditions of the contemporary thriller, and he makes sure to people his tale with interesting folks. He also adds the trivia of necessary details to make his characters seem real, while managing to elevate the sense of urgency in their quest. At times, the editing of this story can seem abrupt, but the author keeps his pace and retains the reader’s interest. With plenty of fatalities to go around, Mr. Gallagher keeps the fate of his main character uncertain to the end, which keeps the reader reading.
