The Illuminati Secret: The completely gripping, fast-paced action-adventure thriller that leaves your pulse pounding (Jed Mason Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 1,177 ratings

***Don't miss the second high-octane, adrenaline-pumped, action-adventure quest in the Jed Mason thriller series!***

Former British Army Boxing Champion and MI6 operative
Jed Mason is enjoying an early retirement on his Portuguese farm when he receives a telephone call informing him of the kidnap of Dr Holly Hope, an academic he worked alongside in April to locate the Ark of the Covenant.

Leaving his new life behind, he races to Paris and begins piecing together the last few moments of Holly’s life before she was snatched, but he is soon drawn into a breakneck race against time to save her life and help her complete her research.

THE ILLUMINATI SECRET pits Mason up against a horrific new enemy in a twisting, breathtaking plot encompassing secret cults, artwork looted by Nazis and one of the most revered relics of all time, but is he ready for the ultimate, shocking secret about what he and his team have been searching for?

This fast-paced, adrenaline-pumped, action-adventure thriller is an explosive mix of Reacher, Langdon and Bond and will keep you on the edge of your seat with your heart in your mouth to the very end.

    The search for the Holy Frail takes Jed Mason and his odd group of misfits on another breathless trip around the Mediterranean. Book 2 is much better than book 1 in this series. Writing style improved a great deal. Would recommend this book if you like Indiana Jones type adventures. Now on to book 3

    If you’re a fan of Clive Custer, but want more meat to the story, this book is for you. It is not about the Illuminati until the very end, but when they are revealed, you will know they have been in the book the whole time!
  • Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024
    Disturbingly pedestrian writing. So much so, that it’s a wonder the manuscript was ever considered for publication. Unless, of course, this is self-published!
