Self-Publishing Review – “The idea that there are hidden secrets about humanity’s past will continually fascinate readers, and it is done to great effect in The Coordinate. … The novel is a great work of adventure, as if we’re following a team of Lara Croft and Indiana Jones as teenagers. … Jacobs does a wonderful job towing the line between a whimsical adventure that is far from reality and an engaging plot that feels relatable to a younger audience. From abducted Harvard professors and cryptic puzzles to FBI raids and secrets hidden in the stars, this relatively fast read will keep you turning pages until the last one. … The Coordinate is a thrilling adventure from an ambitious and creative author.”
