Finally! I just got back from being out of the country for almost three weeks. The first thing I did as I boarded our first flight was open The Find to read. I thoroughly enjoyed it for many reasons. First of all, I was drawn right in to the story and needed to hurry up and finish the book so that I would know what the heck happened! The two main characters were well developed and would be interesting to read about, yet again, in a subsequent book! Of course, the “find” was far fetched and unbelievable, but I completely believed what was happening as the experience was well described and believable. GREAT book!

At first I didn’t like one of the two protagonists in The Find, Bruce Brackin. I found him somewhat annoying…but then again, he was suicidal, which is not a fun type of person to be around. That said, there came a point in the story where Bruce changed and went from a somewhat obnoxious drunk, to a more the hero type you’d except from such a story. I’d say that happened about sixty pages in. So if you find yourself being impatient with Brackin just keep going and you’ll soon probably get to like him.
The Find draws some interesting conclusions about past civilizations having lived on earth. It also addresses some pretty lofty issues relating to our present civilization…who’s really running the show, and what forces are at work in the world. My favorite types of books are ones where, along with being entertained, I also learn something. I learned things in the find that I had never known before, which I found quite fascinating. A good read. I recommend it.

This book surprised me. Where I thought it was mostly going to be a murder mystery, it had a lot of spiritual/quantum physics concepts woven into the plot. Without giving away too much, the “find” in question, reveals a sort of reality that you might be familiar with if you’re familiar with quantum physics. Personally, I found this aspect of the book quite intriguing. Beyond that, it’s an excellent story with some unexpected plot twists that keep you guessing as to what’s going to happen. I liked the characters, especially Megan Eastwood, and that’s who the story is really about.

Grand Canyon that were left behind by a civilization that lived on earth millions of years ago. If this scenario sounds unbelievable to you, than you’re not alone. It did to me also. Yet Valko made it work He sucks you in and makes you believe every word. In fact, by the end of the book I was wondering just how much was fiction and how much was fact. It’s a good story with a strong spiritual message. If you like mystery, adventure and even romance, chances are you’ll like this one. I’m already hoping for a sequel.

A real page turner you won’t be able to put down! The Find is an intense thriller that takes you on a journey of discovery through the Grand Canyon and uncovers long-buried secrets of an ancient civilization that shatter our belief in the history of mankind. The author weaves bits of fact with fiction into a suspenseful story of murder and mystery that will have you on the edge of your seat until the end. You will love this book!
