Following my long awaited purchase of an iPhone, I got to work playing around with the iBooks app.
The Alchemist's secret was my first purchase. At a mere 49p, I did not expect this to be an amazing piece of fiction. Wow, how wrong I was.....

The Alchemist's secret is a thrilling read, full of non-stop action. You are drawn into the main characters haunted past and need for redemption (bit cliché, I know), who is a mix of Jack Bauer, Jason Bourne, with a little bit of James Bond thrown in. As such, you imagine the kind of situations Ben Hope has to get out of. Sometimes, the book does get a bit silly with the concept of 'out of the frying pan, into the fire' but it all makes for a great read.

I would definitely recommend this book to all action junkies. Great characters and fantastic story.
