Constant action was the order of the day and imagination was free flowing, I will be looking for more books by this author! ( )Lot's of exciting action, iffy character consistency and dialogue, too many coincidences even for suspended disbelief. It keeps you reading, though, and the special effects would be terrific. OK, this was a fun, fast paced read that keeps one entertained from beginning to end, along the lines of a Dan Brown book. However, like those books, it leaves gaping holes in the plot that are inexpertly glossed over. The writing is satisfactory, but the pace is kept up at a run because if you are given a chance to stop, catch your breath and think, you'll call shenanigans. As another reviewer put it, it's kind of like watching Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's so bad it's entertaining. Overall, if you want a quick light entertaining read, it's not bad, if you want a good tight story or excellent writing, move along. We meet Dr. Yeats topping a plateau that overlooks the Nazca lines in Peru, scouting with his producer for his next location to shoot a 'documentary'. While there a US Helicopter shows up and gives him an offer he can't refuse, an all expense paid trip to Antarctica, and a chance to see Dr. Serena "Mother Earth" Serghetti, an ex, almost girlfriend. The landing into the hidden US base was extraordinary, then we discover that a pyramid was found under the ice, a 2 mile high pyramid. Things just get stranger and more unbelievable as the story continues. geen besprekingen | voeg een recensie toe
