Book Reviews of Goliath
Book Review: A MODERN FRANKENSTEIN STORY
Summary: 3 Stars
Goliath, by Steve Alton is a pure science fiction novel. A huge submarine with a biological brain literally takes on the entire world. Bigger, faster, stealthier and more deadly than any submarine in history, the Goliath has no trouble executing its evil agenda, which, of course, it to kill everybody.
The skipper of the Goliath is a brilliant terrorist who has a major ax to grind from his past, so he sets out to bring an end to worldwide violence. So far so good, but then a lightning bolt strikes Goliath sending a charge of electricity throughout the entire boat and, its biological brain, called Sorceress, becomes self aware. Sound a little like Frankenstein? You got it. Then, after several pages of who am I? And what am I doing here? Sorceress assumes sole command of Goliath and the terrorist's agenda to set the world free from violence becomes Sorceress's agenda to rid the planet of Homo sapiens.
In my opinion, Goliath is not what I'd call a cliffhanger, but, as a science fiction story this book is as good as any. The story is interesting and the author provides just enough technical detail to keep the high-tech reader interested and turning the pages. Overall I give it a "good" recommendation.
