Well, where to start? First, I am a huge fan of Andy McDermott and have enjoyed his previous novels. BUT, I didn't enjoy this one quite as much. It was still a good read and one that made me want to get to the end to know what happened. First, for those who are devoted christians, you may falter from this one. For the others, it started out as one of the most unbelievable stories I've read. The time frame of the 'discoveries' is so far out there it doesn't make sense for them to still be there. THEN, near the end of the book, the author completely throws a curveball and comes up with one of the best and original ideas I've ever read. That's where I'm split on this one. The whole time I'm thinking one thing about the 'discoveries' and then he comes out of nowhere with the truth. It was good but not his best, in my opinion. I'll be waiting for the next installment this fall! You should still read this one because it fits the story arc for Dr. Wilde and Mr. Chase. By the end of this series, Wilde and Chase would probably have visited every country on Earth for as much traveling as this author has them doing!
