The Prometheus Project

A dying billionaire has assembled a oddly assorted team of ‘experts’, one including Elliot Wages, an adventure writer who also is familiar with some of the remote islands of the Caribbean Sea. The crippled billionaire’s goal? A sunken freighter located at the bottom of the sea fifty years ago, one with a secret Nazi cargo of cylinders loaded aboard during the dying days of WWII. A cargo developed by a secretive German cryogenics expert under the direct supervision of Adolf Hitler to save the embers of the Third Reich… Brisk fast paced techno-thriller from an author I never heard of. Wages is no Dirk Pitt, and regularly gets the sand pounded out of him by various villains in the piece. He’s more a thinker and a fighter, and surrounds himself with some pretty capable friends. The shaggy dog ending was a bit of a let down, but I was interested in this enough to finish it through to the end.
