Book Reviews of Raising The Past
Book Review: Excellent and Fun!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was reminiscent of James Rollins, whom I love! It was a fun ride in a book, that I couldn't put down. I do agree with some of the other reviews, in that on one side, it would make a great movie. The other side, and the reason I couldn't give 5 stars, is that I agree with one reviewer, the publisher should do a better job in editing typos and meandering paragraphs that make absolutely no sense, no matter how many times read over. And, then there is one death scene, in particular, that was very disturbing in that it may have just been a spectacular death or a convenient 'out' for a character no longer wanted. I don't think any scientific research went into this ponder. Very distracting for me. But, the all and all excitement of the book and the rest of it made up for the negatives for me.........hence the 4 stars.
Book Review: Exciting arctic adventure!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first book I have read by this author, but not the last. Raising the Past was super exciting! Great characters (you really care about), a perilous setting (the artic), and so thrilling, you will have to keep going until the very end. I read this book in 2 days, and was sorry to see it end. I highly recommend it to sci fi fans, or anyone looking for a rollicking good adventure. Raising the Past would make a great movie. Movie producers-check this one out.Book Review: Good vs Evil. . . . . But which is which?
Summary: 4 Stars
I have quickly become a Jeremy Robinson fan. I have bought and read all of his published novels so far. I will pre-order his next available title. I don't do this for just any author, only authors whose books I know I will truly enjoy.
This novel has action, suspense, thrills, good vs evil overtones, some science fiction, and religious threads as well. Jeremy Robinson manages to wave all this elements together in a very good manner.
It may not be Paradise Lost, but if you enjoy thrills and stories that move along like an Indiana Jones movie, you will love this one.
Book Review: Great Sci-Fi/Adventure Combo
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big James Rollins fan and was recommended to read Robinson's books. I sure am glad I did because this was a great read which reminds me very much of Rollins' early works. I have read some of Robinson's comments and one of the things I liked about this book is that there was a bit more sci fi and monsters than some of Rollins later works. This book reminded me a lot of Deep Storm by Lincoln Child, but it went a lot farther in actually introducing you to the aliens and their intergalactic war. I liked that a lot; I felt that Child did not show us enough of the Sci Fi side of Deep Storm.
Another great think about Raising the Past is the moral questions that it brings up. It certainly is a novel that made you think. I downloaded it for free on WOWIO and was certainly happy. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and really enjoyed the escape to the Arctic. Great job, Jeremy. I have since ordered the Didymus Contingency, and am very excited about that being a Christian. I will certainly be buying your future novels!
Book Review: Hair-raising action! A reader's delight!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the reviews of this new title from Breakneck Books I was intrigued, but what really sold me on it was the book description and the recommendation by author James Somers. Since Somers' debut novel, THE CHRONICLES OF SOONE, was such an action-packed reading experience, I decided to trust his judgment and try this one too.
And am I ever glad I did! Jeremy Robinson's way with words drew me into this fascinating story as easily as ... well, as easily as the creature in this story lured the "good guys" and "bad guys" alike. The brilliant description, clever dialogue, and action-packed plot kept me in suspense until the very end.
Just listen to this: A creature from the past! Scientists! Sabotage! An ancient woman clutching a secret device, a device that everyone wants! If that doesn't make you sizzle with interest, nothing will.
If you're looking for an exciting, hair-raising reading experience on a cold winter day, buy it! This novel is a reader's delight!
