Product Description
When a contented youth living in a British military base in Cyprus is told that his parents’ car has tumbled over a coastal bluff on a fatal accident, he is struck with a blow from which he will never recover. Years later, as a degenerate guard at a London tourist attraction, he is met by an impassioned Interpol agent who informs him that his parents’ caskets are empty and that the funeral was a hoax.
The two find themselves on a common quest for answers and it becomes clear that the only man who can solve the riddle is the guard’s own godfather – a scientist, ex-colonel and current fugitive who was last seen ten years ago.
With a couple tricks up his sleeve and an agenda of his own, the guard vanishes to follow the trail alone. Meanwhile the agent deciphers clues a decade old on his own hunt for the retired colonel, learning as he goes the very unique circumstances of the colonel’s past and the catastrophic consequences that could occur if he should fail.

After buying this book I learned the author is another Dan Brown, not the one that wrote The Da Vinci Code. I was misled by Amazon's suggested readings.

I just ordered this book because I thought it was a new book by the author of the Da Vinci Code, etc. I am upset with myself for not being more diligent and unhappy with Amazon for being very misleading.

Amazon should have been clear with their description of the book. This is not by Dan Brown who wrote The DaVinci Code. And now they won't let me return it and get a refund. Amazon is beginning to become an extremely poor service.

RACE THE PALE HORSE was obviously not written by the Dan Brown of DA VINCI CODE talent and fame. The story is about as ill-conceived and ragged as it could possibly be. It jumps helter-skelter in time and location, and has little or no continuity. Add editing that a third grader would be ashamed of, and you have RACE THE PALE HORSE.
Horrible writing July 23, 2010

This is my first review of a book on Amazon.com, but I felt it had to be said. I knew this book was not written by Dan Brown of Da Vinci Code fame before I bought it.
However, I read only the first two chapters before I got disgusted and erased it from my ebook reader completely.
The writing is absolutely horrible! How did this get published? Example: "Her and her father went to...." Good lord, no editing? It appears that the author wrote a story, then went back through it with a thesaurus substituting "big words" for all the "little words" -- for instance "the rotund rabbit" when fat would have worked much better. It makes for choppy, sloggy reading. I gave up.
