An Intense Philosophical Thriller

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R38GPFDMEL9DRR Antarktos Rising is a thrilling ride into a brave new world. The book starts out with the global catastrophe of massive floods and deadly temperature shifts. After the devastating crustal displacement has stabilized, much of the world is left uninhabitable. So, countries from all over the world race to claim the newly-transformed tropic of Antarctica. This situation allows for the interesting interactions of the elite from different countries. This is a topic that can be a hotbed for political arguments and racial discussions. However, regardless of one's personal politics, the strengths of each country's philosophy are pointed out over the course of the race.

There is a prehistoric element in the mix along with some mythology, which is taken from numerous cultures. And, all of this is on top of an unprecedented race between the world's most dangerous military units, each set on arriving first and attacking the other teams along the way.

Mira and Merrill provide two very interesting characters, and their relationship does throw the reader a pleasantly unexpected curve ball.

In short, I'd say Antarktos Rising is an intense philosophical thriller that I'd recommend to fans of Michael Crichton, James Rollins, and Steve Alten.

Far reaching sci-fi adventure that does it all!

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3K3TEABQ20SLD First of all- I don't know what the negative reviewers are talking about- this isn't some "christian" book- and I never once got that impression while reading it. I was actually a little surprised to see anyone identifying this as such. Check out the book's trailer that I've downloaded from the authors website (attached), looks like a christian novel to you right? Didn't think so. The fact is that this book deals with an apocalyptic type event - so religion is going to be on the minds of some of the characters in it - but definitely not all. One character in the book explains some of the phenomena that happens by looking to old religious texts. If that offends some then so be it, but you're missing out on a great book!

With that out of the way lets get to my review- this was a book that grabbed hold of me from the start and wouldn't let me go. I read the first 6 chapters online at the author's website and was immediately hooked. I bought a copy right away, hoping that the pace and twisting plot wouldn't relent- and it didn't! I highly recommend you do what I did: check out the chapters at the author's website or "read inside" the book here on Amazon and if you like what you see then BUY THIS BOOK! You won't be disappointed-- I've shared this book with my wife, friends and family- they all love it!

This book was like an intellectual roller coaster ride. I'd say that the closest book in comparison to this one that I've read is The Da Vinci Code- intertwining storylines delivered in fast-paced cliffhanger chapters. But this book is much farther reaching- connecting so many aspects of humanity, science and history that when it ends you'll be compelled to research the possibilities raised for yourself. An excellent book that's become one of my favorites. 5 stars!

Great Book!!

This book was just flat out fun to read. Mixes biblical myth with a devastating earth event. Just really fun to read. Great action and strong character development. I've read all of Robinson's book and this one takes over as my favorite. Will be a great pick up for fans of early James Rollins, Steven Alten, and Matthew Reilly. A great fast passed book that will keep you reading for hours on end.
