“I liked Shadows of the Stone Benders by K. Patrick Donoghue much more than expected…The main characters were interesting and well-developed. The descriptions were good.  The mystery was introduced in an interesting fashion and got me “hooked” quickly.” Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

“A great and imaginative story bringing to light the possibility of a very advanced civilization on the Earth before the great flood, and using it for the basis of a thriller set in the present. The characters are well-developed and the relationships between them add to the interest of the story. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. Donoghue is a great story-teller, The narrative provides good mental images without interfering with the action. It is an easy read, but most difficult to put down. I will want to read this again when the next book comes out.” Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

“This book is phenomenal! If you like Dan Brown you will love this. It gives believable characters and makes you reconsider the accepted theories of the rise civilization.”
