Great puzzles, the evil government conspiracy was weak
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is a continuing story about Dr. Ecco and his conflict with his arch-enemy Baskerhound. Dr. Ecco is presented with a series of puzzles to solve, each of which takes him a bit closer to the truth. There is an intertwined subplot based on an evil government conspiracy to completely control the United States. By having Baskerhound appear to be a great and imminent danger the government hoods justify their imposition of strict censorship laws. While some of the puzzles could be considered routine in the puzzle world, there are many that are quite difficult to solve. Fortunately, solutions to all of them are included in the back. As a puzzler and one who also tends to dismiss the massive evil government conspiracy theories I enjoyed the puzzles and found the intertwined subplot a bit distracting and weak.
Meet Dr Ecco, meet the challenge

Incredibly successful, master piece! A must for an omniheurist. I really liked the way puzzles were presented, too. The writer is not only a real omniheurist but an artist as well. If you enjoy puzzles which requires deep thinking then buy this book without hesitating. Do not forget to add "The Puzzling Adventures of Dr. Ecco" to your library, too.
