My thoughts on The Code Hunters: A Nicholas Foxe Adventure by Jackson Coppley

The Code Hunters by Jackson Coppley is an action/adventure/mystery story that reminds me a little of Close Encounters or Raiders of the Lost Ark. I could certainly see Harrison Ford of that era playing the part of Nick Foxe.

The story itself requires a bit of concentration to keep the players and places straight. The characters are perfectly fleshed out and easy to see in my mind. Likewise, the settings are richly described. I could feel the moisture on the cave walls and breath in the scents of Italy. Very well done, Jackson.

I felt there were a few loose ends left at the finish. Since there are more Nicholas Fox stories on the way, hopefully, some of those ends will be tied up.

“The Code Hunters” is perfect for fans of action, adventure, and mystery, with a little romance thrown in for good measure. I consider this a clean read, suitable for teens and above.

About Jackson Coppley

Jackson Coppley, a consummate storyteller, illuminates in his writing what happens when technology intersects with human behavior and emotion.

Coppley weaves his stories from a sophisticated knowledge of computer technology and an understanding of human behavior.

Coppley's resume includes a dynamic career with leading world communications and technology companies, and the launching of what the press called "a revolutionary software program" during the rise of personal computing.

As a world traveler, Coppley has developed an interest in and an understanding of cultural differences and nuances which play an important role in his stories. His YouTube video on the Hmong people of Vietnam, as an example of how he investigates other cultures, received thousands of hits. It is this sensitivity about human behavior combined with the understanding of the potential of technology that brings to his writing a glimpse of what is yet to come.

Coppley was born in Lexington, North Carolina. A smart kid who majored in Physics at N.C. State. Eager to be in an urban environment, Coppley moved to Washington, DC where he pursued a technology career. Coppley now turns his love of storytelling into writing novels.
