" One of the worst things I have ever read. Lacks any semblance of creativity, as every character and interaction is a carbon copy of something else (a movie, a book, etc.). The plot has no cohesiveness. I thought this was about Judas/Barrow and his quest to recover silver coins? Next thing you know, he's also an international spy and man of intrigue with a completely separate agenda to pursue. Every female is gorgeous, every man is attractive and well-built, and everyone is a multi-millionaire with a G5 at their disposal. Tolkein's books took place in a more realistic world. Seems like the author had a few hundred ideas and tried to melt them all together into one book. The result is a varying casserole of complete ridiculousness. The writing style also makes it very hard to read without being distracted by its own awkwardness. Just horrible. "
