The combination of mythology and modern technology was superb, but the genetic manipulation was a little far fetched. ( ) I actually enjoyed this book. Though there are parts hat can be a bit slow, the idea behind it is very entertaining. In the Age of Zeus, just like the other stories in the 'Age of' series, the gods of old have returned to Earth, in modern day. In this particular variation, they rule the world through threats and displays of violence, prompting an impromptu band of specially chosen men and women to rise against them, in the form of the Titans. In this Titanomachy Rematch, readers will find themselves hating the very gods they once loved, and praying for the return of the titans. Age of Zeus starts well, sustaining action with steady acceleration until the half-way point. Thereafter, the story stalls temporarily when the primary character departs her team of counter-pantheon raiders. Their opponents? The Greek Pantheon of gods, who have returned and subdued all the nations in the world through works of retaliatory violence. Lovegrove is a competent storyteller, making a story that seems so silly on the surface an entertaining read. The sci fi struts holding up the entire concept are a bit shoddy, but Lovegrove wisely doesn't linger on them. Fine, not great. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Continuation of a series that is already a best-seller with a strong alternate history setting! The Olympians appeared a decade ago, living incarnations of the Ancient Greek gods on a mission to bring permanent order and stability to the world. Resistance has proved futile, and now humankind is under the jackboot of divine oppression. Then former London police officer Sam Akehurst receives an invitation too tempting to turn down, the chance to join a small band of geurilla rebels armed with high-tech weapons and battlesuits. Calling themselves the Titans, they square off against the Olympians and their ferocious mythological monsters in a war of attrition which not all of them will survive!.
