Genesis
Andie Robertson has relied on her mentor and PhD adviser, Dr. James Corwin for much of her life, especially after her mother left. All of Andie's life, she has had strange hallucinations that take her into an eerie shadow world. After Dr. Corwin is mysteriously murdered in Italy, Andie finds some research of Dr. Corwin's that is out of his field of study along with drawings that looks exactly like her hallucinations. With the drawings, Andie finds the Star Phone, a strange device that leads her on an adventure with a series of clues. The clues are associated with a secret society, The Leap Year Society and The Ascendants. On the other side of the US, a disgraced investigative journalist, Cal, is desperately trying to find the people who ruined his career. Once Andie and Cal figure out that they are both being hunted by a very dangerous and secretive group, they team up to help one another on the perilous path that has befallen them
Unknown 9: Genesis is a complex science fiction thriller featuring secret groups, code breaking, hidden history, conspiracy theories and mind bending scientific breakthroughs. This is the first book of a trilogy and the beginning of the book was a gradual set up of characters, events and background before getting too heavy into the plot. The writing gripped me from the beginning, building suspense as Dr. Corwin is running for his life. After that, the set up bounces back and forth between Andie, Cal, Omer who is contracted to deliver them, and Ettore in the 1930's. This lends to a slower pace in the beginning, however it does a wonderful job of creating deep characters and intriguing story line that is compounded, but easily followed. I enjoyed the fast paced adventures in Egypt and Italy's historical spaces. I'm deeply interested in the Leap Year Society and the secrets they want to protect. I was absorbed by the idea of The Fold and the potential it could unlock. There is much more to explore with all of the characters and the journey they are on, I can't wait to read more.

Revelation
Continuing the dangerous mission that befell them, Cal and Andie narrowly escape the Ascendents in Venice and follow the clues on the Star Phone around the world in hopes of finding Andie's beloved PhD advisor who has disappeared, Dr. James Corwin and defeating the Ascendents who destroyed Cal's life and are holding Andie's mother. The clues in the Star Phone were laid by Dr. Corwin, part of the Leap Year Society, spent most of his life trying to find Ettore Majorana who developed a device, The Enneagon that would change the world and how we understand it. However, the Ascendents will stop at nothing to find the Enneagon as well.
Unknown 9: Revelation is the second book in the Genesis Trilogy. You must read book one first in order to grasp the full scope of the story. Just like the first book, Revelation is an addictive thriller, impossible to put down. The story picks up right where it left off in Genesis. I absolutely love the complexity of the puzzles on the Star Phone and how they lead Andie and Cal to unique places with hidden histories all over the world. Added points of view from Dr. Corwin on his mission in the 1970's and two members of the Ascendents round out the story and help put more pieces of the puzzle in place. Written with extreme detail and care for plot, characters and imagination, Revelation is a fast-paced adventure that I can't wait to continue in the last part of the trilogy.
