In this political thriller, we meet Malcolm Keyes, an ad
man with an eidetic
memory, that finds himself thrust into the privileged
company of the new
President, Richard Halliday. Halliday recognises that a
man of Malcolm's
talents is invaluable to him, and the President also
appreciates that
Malcolm believes in him and his plans for America's future
in defusing this
nuclear age. When the President uncovers a CIA facility
that has been
developing an unknown weapon - known as the GOD Project -
he uses
Malcolm's abilities to unravel the mystery.
With political subterfuge, back
stabbing, and underhand tactics around every corner,
Malcolm soon finds
himself in extremely dangerous situations. While breaking
down the
secrecy surrounding the GOD Project, the reality of the
political landscape
begins to take its toll on Malcolm. And when Malcolm
realises that the
weapon is a who, not a what, his life becomes even more
difficult - because
he is similar in many ways to this mystery weapon, and
there are plenty of
political factions that will kill to get their hands on
him. Will Malcolm be able
to aid President Halliday, and wade through the dark
underworld of party
politics, or will his time run out?
THE GOD PROJECT by Stan Lee is the first political
thriller that I have
read, and it will definitely not be my last. Even though
this novel is not a
recent release - 1990 - I never once felt like I was
reading an outdated
story. The plot line was energetic, dangerous, and
stimulating and I got
caught up in the frenzy surrounding the GOD Project
weapon. Malcolm's
character is so complex and unusual, yet he is inherently
likeable, and I
found myself hoping he would emerge from the entire
debacle unscathed. I
found THE GOD PROJECT by Stan Lee intriguing, gripping and
most of all,
interesting.
It’s the early 1990’s. The newly elected President learns
that the CIA has a dirty secret that they’ve kept hidden
from him and the military. The agency has developed a
secret
weapon called The God Project that would give them the
power
to conquer a nation…but somehow they’ve lost it.
The President assigns Malcolm Keyes, a speechwriter who
remembers everything he sees and hears, to uncover the
conspiracy and find the weapon before the CIA, or a rival
government, does and gets the “God-like” power to control
the world.
