Genetic scientists perfect a serum containing healing properties, but with side effects that are darker than imagined.
In a remote laboratory, genetic scientists are challenged to create a serum that heals injured soldiers and quickly returns them to the battlefield. Thus, Project Angel is born… only to fail under suspicious circumstances. Years later, archaeologists Renée Arturo and Dianna McEvoy discover in Norway what could be Mjolnir, the legendary hammer of Norse mythology. Neither event seems related until Dianna disappears and Renée’s son is kidnapped.
Renée and her husband, David, begin a desperate search to save their loved ones. When they discover both Dianna and her scientist father supposedly went missing when Project Angel ended, the mystery deepens. Was it really Dianna in Norway? Are her father’s experiments the reason the Arturos’ son was taken? Do cryptic codes on the hammer hint at the location of other fantastic treasures? Or something more sinister?
Renée and David are no strangers to puzzles, but nothing can prepare them for this deceptive game where the consequences of losing are darker than anyone can imagine.

...these people aren't who we thought... 5-stars
"What's wrong?" Tammy said.
"I'm not sure."
"Yes, you are, you just won't admit it. Just like you won't admit these people aren't who we thought. They're here under false pretenses."
Trek stared back, silent, until the mask of guilt slid over his face.
"You have to make this right," Tammy said. "If you won't, I will."
"I don't know how."
"I'll help you. For one, stop referring to them as subjects. Dianna, Marcus and Hayden are people, flesh and bone, not test tubes and chemicals. They need our help. And another, they're not 'exhibiting interesting behavioral patterns'. They're reacting best they can to what we did to them, so take some responsibility for that."
"It's too late."
Tammy braced him by the shoulder. "It's never too late to do what's right."
So, who are Dianna, Marcus and Hayden? All three are offspring from three very bright men. Three scientists who believed they could help people make the right decisions in life as well as cure the health problems invading the people of the world. They believed in themselves so much, that is until a mysterious accident destroyed everything they worked so hard to achieve.
Tek and Tammy, with the funding from a wealthy industrialist, have picked up where the 3 scientists left off. The subjects are under Tek and Tammy’s total control, both physically and mentally, with memories and situations being implanted into their brains - for a while that is. Then things start to change. Dianna begins to suspect her surrounds and some of her own memories come to life with the unknowing help of her friend from the past, Renee. This ignites a harrowing series of events which has Tek and Tammy suspecting that they themselves are being played.
This book has more twists and turns than any I think I've ever read. As soon as I think I've figured out what is going on and who is behind it, the author throws a wrench into my theory. And that means I can't go to bed until I see what will happen next. Yes, I spent several nights of reading up into the wee hours - and it was worth it. I really enjoyed this book.

Indiana Jones meets The Matrix, perhaps...
A sense of computer gaming blends with a feel for reality in John Stipa’s The Angel Solution, as rival archaeologists follow an Indiana-Jones style path toward hidden treasure. Fragments of a curious journal might hold the clue to what’s real and what’s imagined. But soon the reader will be wondering, who is real, and how real is real?
Told through the observant eyes of multiple characters and detailed dialog, the story is rich in images and complex in plot. Black and white illustrations are cool and intriguing. And the slow revelation of Project Angel is well-timed, drawing readers in to imagine and guess what’s going on.
Two of the protagonists will be familiar to readers of No Greater Sacrifice, but The Angel Solution stands alone as an intriguing novel of science gone awry and cool adventurous plot.
