On the tropical island of Diego Garcia in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the United States has gathered together its most talented geneticists to work on the top-secret Lemuria Project. These secret experiments create a revolutionary new warrior so strong and so valiant that the age of casualties of war would become only a sad and distant memory. Haunted by a dark and dangerous past, Colonel Link McGraw is the officer chosen to train these new soldiers. He understands the rules of engagement and agrees to serve his country, reestablish his professional reputation, and secure his freedom in the process. As a trained and commissioned officer in the United States Armed Forces, McGraw knows what constitutes the perfect soldier: following orders without question. When Egyptian beauty Fala al Shodaha and Israeli Joshua Krantz, scientists in their own right, stumble across the top-secret project, they are determined to uncover its true nature and pursue their quest to Diego Garcia. Tensions mount as Krantz and McGraw clash over the project—and vie for the affection of the lovely Fala. When they discover they aren’t the only ones on the island competing for her attention, shocking truths are revealed that beg the question, Is it too late to save themselves—and the entire human race—from almost certain annihilation?
My thoughts
The Lemuria Project was a top secret government experiment that is now revealed in Barry Pollack’s new book FORTY-EIGHT X: THE LEMURI PROJECT. It took the suicide of one university professor; the determination of his daughter and two Middle Eastern scientists to find discover the purpose of this experiment on the island of Deigo Garcia. It reminded me of “The Island of Dr. Moreau” with a tiny bit of “Planet of the Apes” thrown in. Pollack’s novel has enough action, suspense and scientific jargon to keep it enticing.
