Book Reviews of Raising The Past
Book Review: Raising the Past
Summary: 4 Stars
Good book. A little short, but well written. Certainly looking forward to the sequel. I Emailed Mr. Robinson and he said one is planned but will hinge on sales and reviews.
A good read, enjoyed it a lot.
Book Review: Robinson
Summary: 4 Stars
I did enjoy this book it just seemed liked there was something missing in the story and really think Robinson could of expanded on the story during the second half. Other than that it's a good quick read and worth your time if you like the author.Book Review: Scientifically Accurate and a Damn Fine Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Last summer I went and volunteered for some time with a scientist who had led one of the expeditions to Siberia to recover a frozen mammoth. Their intent was to see if the DNA of the animal was still intact enough to enable a clone to be built (grown, developed, whatever). While the meat was still 'fresh' the DNA was destroyed so no clone.
This was enough, however to tempt me into this book. And his story of the digging up of the animal is very well told. His comments on digging in Russia are exactly right, you can't take the animal or even sample tissue out of Russia, etc.)
This story is, of course is science fiction (which I like) so he has expanded the story to move the mammoth to Canada. And then built a story around an alien artifact. This part was a lot like Arthur C. Clarke's 1948 story, 'The Sentinel.' which later became a novel and a movie under the name '2001: A Space Odyssey.' That is, an artifact burried where it can't be found is finally found and used to send a signal to an advanced species.
The rest comes down to the tone of the story, the writing, the characters. Not, I'm afraid going to make it to the all time best, but a damn file read.
Book Review: Short & Sweet
Summary: 4 Stars
This isn't very long so makes a great quick read. It's out there, but written very well. Descriptions are great, can "see" all the characters well. Very enjoyable. Looking forward to other books by Robinson.Book Review: The Perfect Combination
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW! I just loved this. The perfect combination of adventure and Science Fiction, it just flowed! As usual with Jeremy's books, I found myself having a very hard time putting it down and found myself sneaking reads whenever I could.
If you love adventure, thrillers, and a fondness for Ice action you need to read this. Lovable (and hateable) characters abound.
I don't believe in giving away plot in a review (also not very good with words to do so) but trust me, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
Jeremy, we want more, more, more!
Thanks.
