Book Reviews of Subterranean
Book Review: Fast and furious adventure!
Summary: 3 Stars
"Subterranean" is best-selling James Rollins' first novel - and it shows. Not nearly as sophisticated as his more recent novels but a fun read in spite of this fact.
The premise is like a modern re-telling of Jules Verne's "Journey To the Center Of the Earth" filled with a government sponsered group of spicialists heading underground to the center of the world. It turns out their mission is two-fold - to discover valuable crystals and artifacts that reside there and also to find out what happened to the first group that went missing month's early (the latter reason is of course kept secret to the new group of explorers).
What transpires is a mix of Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park - completed by the discovery of an ancient humanoid tribe living in the bowels of the earth. A fast and fun read and perfect for a beach chair!
Summary of Subterranean
Beneath the ice at the bottom of the Earth is a magnificent subterranean labyrinth, a place of breathtaking wonders—and terrors beyond imagining. A team of specialists led by archaeologist Ashley Carter has been hand-picked to explore this secret place and to uncover the riches it holds. But they are not the first to venture here—and those they follow did not return. There are mysteries here older than time, and revelations that could change the world. But there are also things that should not be disturbed—and a devastating truth that could doom Ashley and the expedition: they are not alone.
