Just picked it up last week... almost done with the first book. It's actually pretty good stuff, though incredibly confusing at times. If you don't mind being confused, if you have a pretty good tolerance for thick books, and you are at a pretty high reading level... I recommend it. Oh yeah, and it's filled w/ language and sex but hey, lol.

The authors threw in a description of their book subtly in the middle of the actual plot... basically calling it a book that goes from a Detective story, to science fiction, to the supernatural, and uses all kinds of political crap to fit it into a massive conspiracy theory that can barely be understood because of all the changes in time that take place in it. Pulp Fiction changed in time a good bit, but this thing changes literally, not kidding, about 10000x more often in some of the oddest times.

Anyways yeah, I find it to be quite the enjoyable and interesting read, as it talks about anything from the Illuminati, Atlantis, Civilization as we know it, to sceince fiction water craft, talking dolphins, and back to the simple question "Why is there a pyramid and an eye on our dollar bill?" If you love conspiracy stuff, and loved Deus Ex, it's a must read.

Anyone else read it? Dont' spoil stuff cause Like I said i'm only about 9/10 of the way done with the first book, and it's 3 books. But yeah what did you think?
