Review: The Memori Project

The Memori Project by Martin Ashwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Martin Ashwell's debut novel is a subtle yet compelling thriller about a Feckless Hero who means well, caught in th web woven by a Villain who gives new illustration to the definition of Narcissism, a man with secrets so deep they could fill volumes of Conspiracy Theory. Mr. Ashwell is champion at building slow suspense and tension, so that the dangers sneak up on the reader as on the protagonist, Josh Heller (a former CIA agent, who "should know better"). You don't have to be an expert at Neuroscience, the topic on which this plot revolves, to understand the implications for humanity posited in this thriller. I certainly am not an expert, and I found the story engrossing. Josh is a delight in his earnest fecklessness; he is indeed skillful in some ways, yet it is his "blind spots" that will be his downfall. Thankfully THE MEMORI PROJECT is Book 1 of a series.
