A note from the author about the Second Edition of Book One, of the “Black Sun Series”
I have been amazed, and delighted with the positive reaction to my first published work of fiction. This encouragement from friends, family, and fans of the Black Sun Series, has pushed me to continue to write the other two books. For this Second Edition of, “THE BLACK SUN ASCENDANT: An Assassin’s Tale”, I have reviewed all of the tips and mistakes pointed out to me by my readers, and incorporated changes into the text accordingly. I have also revised the whole text, in order to create a cleaner looking tablet format. The essentials of plot and book structure have not changed, since, as the author - I like it!
Pierre Berton once wrote in his book, “The Joy of Writing”: "When I bid my manuscript goodbye, I am always in a state bordering on euphoria. I have been living with it for two years or more and am convinced that it is perfect. Has my experience with 'The Invasion of Canada' taught me nothing? ...But I cannot bring myself to believe that my work needs revising." (P. Berton, 2003, page 250)
Even Mr. Berton admits that an author has to let his/her manuscript go, eventually, in order to face the sharp eyes of the critical public. Since few authors are professed to be perfect (and I feel that applies to editors as well), there is no shame in having to issue a second edition.
I also send my appreciation out to my friend Gordon Vandyke who gave me first-hand insight into helicopters, the pilots who flew them and their proper radio etiquette. Gordon was one of the “crazy Canuks” in the Canadian army’s helicopter corps who flew, among other things, frequent nap-of-the-earth missions in Europe during the cold war.
Once again, my many thanks to everyone who took the time to read, enjoy, comment on and leave critiques about, “THE BLACK SUN ASCENDANT: An Assassin’s Tale”. I will always be open to good honest criticism (and compliments too!), so please, do not hesitate to contact me if you think I might be able to improve one of my books in some way; just remember, as the author I always have the final say! Cheers!

Good spy/mystery novel
By G. Zupke
This is a good spy/mystery novel in the "pope did it" genre. It has plenty of action and suspense and kept my interest until the final page. The only drawback: I would have liked a little more detail around the tablets they were searching for. Overall, a solid story. I will buy the sequels when they come out. Readers who like James Rollins and Steve Berry should give this book a try.

Exciting story, but it has problems
By leafycritter
This is a fast-paced story of adventure in the worlds of archaeology, intelligence agents, contract killers and Vatican intrigue. The protagonist, Victor Colvin, is a professional hit man. Throughout the book he is pursued by agents of the Israeli foreign intelligence agency Mossad, who are working to capture and interrogate him. Some of the other major characters in the large cast include the female Turkish archaeologist Dr. Ahu Eser, who loves Victor; Father Marco Pedretti, a corrupt Catholic priest in charge of the excavation in Sagalassos (southwestern Turkey); Cardinal Elberich Richter, an equally corrupt high official at the Vatican, who is worried about both the Turkish archaeological discovery and an assassination plot against the Pope; and Valencia Davino, a Canadian archaeology student who is attracted to Victor. The story is set in colorful locations in several countries, including Turkey, Canada, Italy and the U.K.
There is a great deal of mayhem, and a few murders, associated with Ahu's discovery of 18 cuneiform tablets from 5500 B.C. Apparently they are from a cult who worshipped the Black Sun, i.e. Satan or Lucifer. (Hence "The Black Sun" in the title of the series.)
I enjoyed the story and plan to read the rest of the trilogy when the other two books are published. The story was well-researched, and the characters are vivid and interesting. The writing is pretty good. However, I did run into some problems with the book. I did not see it the same way the author did. He described it on Amazon as "an adult coming-of-age tale. Two people who chose to pursue careers over personal relationships and family." The story did not strike me that way at all.
Getting the nitpicky part out of the way first: More editing of the book is needed, and editing of the author's description on Amazon too. There is word misuse in the very first sentence of the book's description: "The story follows two principle characters." The correct word is "principal," meaning "main" or "first order of importance." Some examples of editing needed in the book: the word "proffered" was consistently misspelled as "pro-offered." Many commas were missing in the dialogue, such as: "That won't be necessary Brother Pedretti," instead of "That won't be necessary, Brother Pedretti." The use of things like "CLICK WRRR," "BZZZ" and "KNOCK KNOCK" (to indicate sounds) was distracting. A good story deserves good editing.
The story: It was never clear why the Sagalassos cuneiform tablets were so important that people were murdered over them. The author explains the controversy about the tablets as "the Vatican is hiding evidence that could be of great Biblical importance." However, there have been many challenges to the Bible over the centuries, and the author did not satisfactorily explain why these particular tablets were more threatening than other archaeological discoveries.
The Mossad agents (and agents of other governments) in the story come across as pretty incompetent, and spectacularly unlucky: they have multiple violent car crashes and a gruesome helicopter crash, and Victor kills them off individually with ease. Are any real Mossad agents as inept as the author makes them look? I had always heard that Mossad was the elite of the intelligence and covert operations world.
Speaking as a woman, I found it implausible that Ahu would fall in love with Victor after a one-night stand. She's 36, old enough to have a more realistic perspective on that kind of casual fling. Her love would only be believable if she had known Victor for a long time and had been building him up in her mind as her fantasy lover, thus their single night together would be the culmination of her fantasy and she'd fall in love with him. But she had only known Victor for one day, and despite her telling him her life story over dinner, there was really no emotional foundation for her love.
The reaction of young Valencia to Victor's confession that he's a hit man didn't ring true either. Within minutes after he confirmed that what she'd heard about him killing people for a living was true, she was all over him trying to get him into bed. In real life, if a man told a woman that, she'd probably freeze and get away as soon as she could. There are only two believable explanations for Valencia's reaction. Either she had immediately gone back into denial, remembering how she had recently thought it was all lies, or she was the same kind of killer as him. Or her moral level was so low that she saw nothing wrong with murder for hire.
Valencia said to Victor, "Your conscience has finally caught up with you," as if that excused everything he had done, and made it okay for her to become his accomplice in evading the authorities; it just isn't believable. This is the same kind of unrealistic thing Ahu did at the end of the book when she was talking to Victor. She said that she still loved him, but that he must promise to change and not kill again. Well, promising to "change" does not make up for his killing all those people. They're still dead; they got no justice, and their families are still grieving. Valencia and Ahu were acting as if Victor was just a bank robber or something. They weren't taking multiple murders as seriously as people would in real life. It isn't convincing. There is no way I could see this story as a warm tale of two lonely people "coming of age" (they're too old for that anyway, at 36 and 40s) who had been consumed with their careers and decided they wanted a family life, when one of them is a paid serial killer.
The story ends abruptly, with no resolution. I assume that this type of unresolved ending was used because the author intends to pick up where he left off in Book 2.
I could see that the author was trying to build Victor up as a sympathetic character, since Victor's conscience about the killings began to bother him. It didn't work. It would be one thing if Victor was a soldier in combat and his high body count was the result of his fighting for his country; we could root for him then. But he's just killing people for money, not for duty or idealism. It is not a profession from which one could simply "retire" and move on with no repercussions. The author's other two books in the Black Sun trilogy (mentioned in the "Biography" section of the book) are "An Earth Eclipsed: An Assassin's Revenge" and "A Brilliant Dawn: An Assassin's Redemption." I would like to read those books to see if the author manages to make Victor into someone the reader could view with understanding and forgiveness, whether Victor is convincingly "redeemed."
