Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It's a Science Fiction thriller that combines elements of the lost city of Atlantis, human evolution, Nazis, conspiracy, alien technology, and end of the world scenarios. The very basic premise (without spoiling anything) is that the human race was on the brink of extinction at one point in the past and somehow, for some unexplained reason, humans made a giant leap forward in the evolutionary ladder that allowed them to not only survive, but to take control of planet Earth. Shortly thereafter, agent David Vale shows up on the scene and he and Kate are sucked into a worldwide race against time to save not only themselves and the children, but quite possibly the whole world. As a matter of fact, I was a bit disappointed at how similar certain aspects of the plot were to Jeremy Robinson's "Second World" and James Rollins' "Black Order". After spending much of the first half of the book at a jog, Riddle flips the switch towards the end and the pacing becomes very quick, and the action and story become intense."
"But overall book fills theatrical and a bit corny with author making sure he is pushing all the politically correct buttons to pass through some editorial filters."
"By the time I had read half of the novel, there were so many unfinished ideas that I was exhausted."
"I am also a novelist, so know how difficult it is to write something that at once thrills, teaches, and keeps one dangling, while answering the Big Question. There is only one female character in the entire book, for example, and who meets every single trope of a chauvinistic dream girl: the blonde and smart, but helpless damsel; the brilliant scientist, but mushy mom-wanna-be; the woman who acts like an idiot when she is surrounded by the enemy. That aside, the author develops an interesting theory about Atlantis and a mythical Nazi weapon (won't spoil it), but never circles back to explain how the Atlanteans may have stored them, nor how they were found. There is no central theme, no moral lesson, nothing to give the reader a sense of purpose, except, once again, the Nazis have regrouped and are bent on destroying the world. The books have been optioned out, so it's obvious that was his intent all along, but it made for frustrating reading at times. WWI hero; military intelligence Bourne-like character; beautiful blonde physician who has no depth and who, strangely unbothered about it, kidnaps her child-scientific subjects in a third-world country."
A SECRET THAT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE FOUND. However, when an unknown group immediately becomes interested in her work, Alison realizes John Clay may be the only person she can trust. - Gail Ward "You'll miss a great experience if you don't read this book." "After I finished "Breakthrough" at 11pm in bed I immediately bought his next book; "Amid The Shadows" without even reading the synopsis or the reviews. Being retired and having read several hundred Kindle books, I can honestly say this has to be the most exciting heart pounding story I have yet read on my Kindle. I give it 10 stars out of 5 and - as another reviewer said "I guarantee you'll be downloading his next book.... As a postscript, I finished the book, found that the author had another Amazon book available, Amid the Shadows, and immediately downloaded it. I expect great things from Mr. Grumley and am looking for his next book.

They are the kind of verbal jewels that make any author gasp and say "I wish I wrote that." The odds are slim that anyone will encounter this five-star review in the vast ocean of existing appreciation for this delightful book and its author. If, perchance, a live person actually reads this review, please let me know with a "helpful" vote."
"With the the portability and ease of reading electronically I am reliving the stories of Clare and Jamie and Brianna and Roger et al again. Diana delivers the emotion, sights, sounds, smells, triumphs and failures with her words. She always finds alliterative and clever phrasing to bring everything alive - whether it is a trip across the sea or a dangerous encounter or mundane every tasks or Clare and Jamie enjoying the delights of each other intimately."
"I am reading again so I can be up to date (in my wee brain) on what will be happening in the TV series on Starz."
"Claire and Jamie are fun to read about, and spending time in 18th century France and Scotland is a blast."
"The book starts with the heroine in Scotland just after WWII and she accidentally goes back 200 years in time. I can see a wide range of complaints from too much romance, violence, torture, sex, intrigue, too many characters, too much discussion about medicine, the scenery and the weather."
"This is my second time reading this series."
"While I truly relish D. Gabaldon's writing, I feel that the tale is greatly enhanced by Davina Porter's as narrator. Suffice it to say that this is the continuation of the story of the lives of Claire Beauchamp and Jamie Fraser after they're forced to marry. When I'm feeling industrious I intend to look this up and check the facts against the plot line."

His need to find her is so great that he breaks his own leg and leaves it behind, knowing that it will regenerate."
"There were a few funny moments that actually made me laugh out loud, like when he gets hit by the car and the car bounces off and he driver runs, or when he robs the delivery cart of food. The characters were fabulous, the tension between them simmered, and all together, I feel pretty happy about the 5-6 hours I spent reading this book."
"Lachlan and Emmaline are so different, but we realize before they do that they are perfect for each other!"
"She has no idea what she is in for, Lachlain is deeply sexual and just coming off 150 years of torture by vampires so he isn’t taking the hole Half-Vampire is his mate thing well at all. Emma was so timid that in the beginning I wasn’t sure she would ever find a way to stand up to the beast but every man needs a woman to push his boundaries and make him better. -- “When he watched her sleeping, he often thought, My heart lies vulnerable outside my chest.”. I love Nix as a side character, she is hilarious and added some fun when Emma trying to call in the cavalry for a rescue attempt. Taken for what this is it is a good time and great fun if you don’t analyze some of the over-the-top moments and just remember when they first meet up he is still mostly animal in nature, I’m surprised he didn’t just pee on her to mark his territory from the get go."

The #1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of The Da Vinci Code Bilbao, Spain Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend a major announcement—the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a renowned global figure. Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, Langdon and Vidal must evade a tormented enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain’s Royal Palace itself . On a trail marked by modern art and enigmatic symbols, Langdon and Vidal uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch’s shocking discovery . -- People Magazine "A brisk new book that pits creationism against science, and is liable to stir up as much controversy as The Da Vinci Code did. In Origin , the brash futurist Edmond Kirsch comes up with a theory so bold, so daring that, as he modestly thinks to himself in Brown’s beloved italics, “ It will not shake your foundations. And just like he was in his original exploits ( Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code ), Dr. Langdon is once again wrapped up in a global-scale event that could have massive ramifications on the world’s religions. Origin is a familiar blend of travelogue, history, conspiracies and whodunit, with asides on everything from the poetry of William Blake to the rise and fall of fascism in Spain." Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 international bestsellers, including The Da Vinci Code, Inferno , The Lost Symbol , Angels & Demons , Deception Point, and Digital Fortress .
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I love Dan Brown's novels, his writing style, and his extensive use of history/tech in most of them, and I always learn something when I read his books. Brown has a plug and play format that he follows, and as I read this book, it's basically Robert Langdon at some educational/art venue where a friend/colleague, etc. There was supposed suspense, in that you want to find out what in the world Langdon's friend had to say before his murder--and of course, you have to wait until the end to find out."
"Although Brown’s writing will not rank well among the great classics, his books turned into film will pack theaters and encourage history buffs to travel Europe. KEY POINTS Using history, science and religion for a thriller is one of the better ways to incite curiosity among readers. Excerpt. ‘…“If you’ve read my books,” Langdon’s voice continued, “you will have heard me use the term ‘God of the Gaps.’ That is to say, when the ancients experienced gaps in their understanding of the world around them, they filled those gaps with God.”. The sky filled now with a massive collage of paintings and statues depicting dozens of ancient deities. “And yet, over the centuries, scientific knowledge increased.” A collage of mathematical and technical symbols flooded the sky overhead. “As the gaps in our understanding of the natural world gradually disappeared, our pantheon of gods began to shrink.”. On the ceiling, the image of Poseidon came to the forefront. “As you know, the same fate befell all the gods—dying off, one by one, as they outlived their relevance to our evolving intellects.”. Overhead, the images of gods began twinkling out, one by one—gods of thunder, earthquakes, plagues, and on and on. These gods did not ‘go gentle into that good night’; it is a messy process for a culture to abandon its deities. Spiritual beliefs are etched deeply on our psyches at a young age by those we love and trust most—our parents, our teachers, our religious leaders. Therefore, any religious shifts occur over generations, and not without great angst, and often bloodshed.”. The sound of clattering swords and shouting now accompanied the gradual disappearance of the gods, whose images winked out one by one. Finally, the image of a single god remained—an iconic wizened face with a flowing white beard. Zeus, more than any other god, resisted his own extinction, mounting a violent battle against the dying of his own light, precisely as had the earlier gods Zeus had replaced.”. On the ceiling flashed images of Stonehenge, the Sumerian cuneiform tablets, and the Great Pyramids of Egypt."
"After the first few chapters the book hits a road block - it stops being a DaVinci code knock off and becomes something else. I also realized that the small passage of time directly related to the lengthy descriptions of art, books, etc. The early chapters describe the museum at Bilbo and I went online while I was reading to see pictures."

"Anyone who enjoys SiFi will love this book."
"Science Fiction can be difficult to read, for me, but Mr."
"The reason for not giving a 5 rating is that there are some occasional instances where editing failed to catch the misuse of a word or a grammatical slip. Book 3: The Atlantis World ties the subplots and main plot together, and finally gives us the across-the-universe (and perhaps beyond) scope of the the power/greed motivations which have influenced the good, the bad and the conflicted throughout the series.

A little over thirty thousand acres and home to four generations, it’s kept running by Bodine Longbow with the help of a large staff, including new hire Callen Skinner. When a bartender leaves the resort late one night, and Bo and Cal discover her battered body in the snow, it’s the first sign that danger lurks in the mountains that surround them. “Roberts always tells a good story that balances romance and suspense, but in this title, the narrative is deeper, the mystery is more layered, and with Alice, Roberts moves into another level of exploring physical and emotional trauma and the powerful balm of family and love. “What makes this novel most engaging is Roberts’s ability to suffuse her story with rich details of one family’s life, as well as sizzling doses of romance and mystery.”-- Publishers Weekly.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Alice, Bodine’s aunt, who has been missing for years is an integral part of the plot as is Sundown, a highly trained and intelligent horse. There are plenty of red herrings, plot twists, love interests and Ranch/Resort complications to keep the reader interested in this 450 page novel."
"Roberts wrote this story years ago, except it was titled Montana Sky, and it was so much better. We jump back and forth from past to present between a young woman who was abducted and forced to experience unspeakable horrors—I mean, been there, done that, in Roberts’ books alone—and the heroine, who does the most truly fascinating thing I’ve ever read—she goes through her morning routine, then goes to work, puts together agendas, and attends meetings. This book was so boring that at one point, maybe about a third of the way through, I got sick of spacing off and having to reread passages that I just shook my head and started flipping through pages, trying to find something exciting or even just interesting. She’s used the name Bodine in at least two other books (Carolina Moon and Born in Shame, though in the former it was spelled “Bodeen”). The Bodine name, a ranch in Montana, all the siblings in the same family falling in love at the same time, a religious fanatic villain who takes the Bible literally, a not-so-unexpected family connection to the villain (I suspected him the moment I met him), and an obvious misdirect. If I had any complaints about the writing itself, it would be that there wasn’t enough action or physical description with dialogue, like mannerisms or facial expressions. We were largely left to assume the tone implied, and sometimes I had to stop and puzzle over the nuances within a conversation."
"I know very bad things happen every day, but I read to get away from everyday life for a while, I do not expect to end up sicken and depressed especially from a Nora book."
"The positive: as she always does, she created an intricately detailed world, with well-developed characters. Too many subplots not resolved, And, I'm sorry, but this is the last time I'm paying 14.99 for a Kindle book. It's the last time I automatically pre-order a Nora Roberts book."
"For anyone reading this review, please reconsider if you are expecting the quality by the author that was evidenced a decade ago."
"This book was not written by the same person that has a magic way with words."
"What is missing in this book is a hint of chemistry between the hero and heroine. I stopped reading and selected a different book over and over for months after downloading this until I forced myself to finish. Too many uninteresting tedious details and nothing that makes the plot sparkle and shine like most of her others."

They are the kind of verbal jewels that make any author gasp and say "I wish I wrote that." The odds are slim that anyone will encounter this five-star review in the vast ocean of existing appreciation for this delightful book and its author. If, perchance, a live person actually reads this review, please let me know with a "helpful" vote."
"With the the portability and ease of reading electronically I am reliving the stories of Clare and Jamie and Brianna and Roger et al again. Diana delivers the emotion, sights, sounds, smells, triumphs and failures with her words. She always finds alliterative and clever phrasing to bring everything alive - whether it is a trip across the sea or a dangerous encounter or mundane every tasks or Clare and Jamie enjoying the delights of each other intimately."
"Sorry I don't have time/ desire to post a longer review but here goes: The heroine is a bit annoying... wish her sense of agency and empowerment were effected more often by planing, cleverness, and guile and less often by stomping her dainty boot on the ground."
"A great read."
"While I know some of the 1948 details are incorrect (my family was in Scotland temporarily, on their way to France, in 1950, and food was still very scarce, with strict rationing in effect), the 18th century details seem somewhat more accurate."
"Say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing and you would be classified as a witch as Claire was. But at this moment, travel through time is not possible and may never be."
"Thank you DG, LOVE THE STARZ OUTLANDER TOO EXCEPT WHEN THEY DELETED THE WEDDING NGHT WHAT CLAIR SAID TO JAMIE "go slowing and pay attention" Could have instructed another generation or two husbands but they let slip by, oh well, that's life."
"Really looking forward to knowing how it all ends in many books from now, but guessing I'll be disappointed when I've finished them and have to say goodbye."

Vincent is on a company retreat and meets Gemma when she has a flat and he stops to help. Vincent introduces Gemma to his best friends, Nash and Casper and their women Bonnie and Lily."
"She wants a fake fiancé in order to drop out of Harvard law and pursue art, so she cooks up an engagement so her mother will get off her back. The mother is a narcissist who also acts irrationally the entire book— a trope all her own. For instance, the mother gives them a suite of rooms to share, seemingly out of character for the young daughter. She gets naked too and walks around completely uninhibited— yeah, not the shy virgin reaction to a stranger you hired a day before walking in naked — get naked, get in the tub and suds up with him. It just goes down hill from there."
"The placement of the "F" word didn't even make sense to use it and the "C" word, sorry no woman wants to read or imagine it being used."
"I almost felt like I was watching those old silent movies where the villains pull on their long curly mustache and draws a cape across half their face."

Later in the evening the door flies open and no one is there and he turns to an old woman who says, "It starts with you, child of the ancients." How did they go from the Bronx to Ridgefield, and then down to New Jersey before making their way to Pennsylvania and then up to the Allighenies (located in New York). By the Blue Ridge Mountains which are in North Carolina or did the DOOM screw with geography too?"
"Instead just focuses on one character and that characters journey. I have to ask if none of the other characters already in the story could do that? There are still several characters, several story lines, all related, but told very well separately."
"In most of these, the characters were interesting enough for me to enjoy reading the books even if they felt a bit lighter in content and a bit rushed, too, over the last couple of series. We'll see... Bottom line, if you like darker stories and don't mind characters disappearing suddenly--and you like Nora Roberts books--you may find this enjoyable."
"Never heard or read anything by this author and heard that it was similar to “The Stand”..( my favorite book ever), so I was excited to read this... but was (thankfully) quickly turned off by the bad writing , I only made it to 16%. It felt like Nora Roberts took the plot of TS and said to herself,” I’ll make it different by adding unexplained silly magic, elves, wizards, witches, and unicorns!”... yes people, you heard right- UNICORNS."

Some of the one liners I'm sure I've seen from other people on photo captions - so basic that it's difficult to call it original material."

"I would've maybe given it two stars if I checked it out at the local library for free, but I'm annoyed I invested my hard earned American dollars into this book. I seriously don't understand if everyone is just reading into the completely non-thought provoking "poems" in this book and making up their own deep meaning or if I'm just totally missing the boat on this one. If you told me my 9-year-old nephew and 6-month-old niece collabed on this book, with him covering the poetry while she handled the artwork, I would fully believe you. If you're a 10th grader who just got dumped by Jimmy from home room and you wanna post a snapchat of one of these heart wrenching break up poems to express how angsty you are, you'll love it."
