LesOpinion: I was about 12 years old when I read my first suspense novel. I had wandered out of my usual sections of Upper Sandusky, Ohio's Carnegie Public Library--the horse tales, the Art Buchwald screeds, the Agatha Christie mysteries--and into the daunting "Adult Fiction" section. The novel was about a guy who accidentally witnesses some bikers kill an endangered California condor. Thus began my love affair with fast-paced books brimming with American-style violence.
Despite its English author and Egyptian setting, The Alexander Cipher is one of these books. It is well-written, energetic, and has just enough cliffhangers to keep a reader turning the pages. Best yet, it was one of those books that made me look up Things I Don't Know Much About.
Great literature? No. Great fun? Absolutely.

I will check it out! I am in need of new reading material right now.
Hi Michael,
Welcome to the LesBlog. I hope you find everything you need.
If you are in need of new reading material, may I recommend that you avoid, at all costs, my current book. Yes, my return to the Library Quest at a different library means I have to wade back through the quagmire of Elizabeth Adler novels. Save yourself, Mike.
Happy reading!
Les
