WOW!!!!! Does it get any better than this book?????

This was an AMAZING book. Better than Cussler's *Atlantis Rising*, better than Alten's *Domain*, and yet this guy doesn't have a major publishing contract yet!!

I found Jeremy Robinson on myspace after he invited me to be his friend there. Ordered Antarktos Rising and Didymus Contingency that day from his site, got them two days later, and had Antarktos finished 2 days after that. (Actually closer to within 36 hours. 300+ page book, and when I wasn't working or sleeping, I was reading it. It was THAT good, and THAT interesting!)

As far as specifics: The 'Day After Tomorrow' type scenes early in the book were excellent, as was the ending of that sequence. (Touches of 10.5 there.) The battle scenes with the Chinese army were excellent - you could TOTALLY see the Red Army doing exactly as they did - as was the tension in the American team, particularly after they 'adopt' another member. Furthermore, I found that the theories revealed in the endgame were intriguing, in a similar fashion as to those revealed in the later stages of Alten's 'Domain'.

I fully look forward to a sequel, and have officially found a new author that will have at least one buyer of any book he puts out as long as I am alive.

Watch out world- -here comes Jeremy

What an awesome book. It was one of the best books I've ever read. While reading it I could "see" what was going on. I emailed my friends and family to let them know about it. Looking forward to reading Didymus Contingency which has already been ordered. Thanks Jeremy!!

Antarktos not so hot

I have read sci-fi and adventure books for some 40 years, and I enjoy suspending belief for a book, but Antarktos pushes it to the limits and beyond.
The basic plot was good. The crustal displacement event and its effects were cool, and the early scenes with characters such as Anguta, and Whitney, were interesting. The scene with the frozen bodies in the abandoned church was good creepy, as were other scattered scenes.
I agree with other reviewers who have stated that things begin to thin out once they reached Antarktos.
Still, you want somewhat believable characters however crazy the plot gets, and it does get very crazy, piling one suspension of belief on another until the whole structure gets rather shaky.
I also felt that the characters and their interplay were not handled as well as I'd have liked.
As a Christian, I really wanted to like this book, but parts of it were rather silly, with stereotypes and dialogue, especially toward the end. And even the evangelizing seemed unnatural. Also, the characters of Ahmed and Zhou were awkward.
I had no problem with the short chapters, as some have had, it was like a serial thriller with mini cliffhangers every 3 pages.
All that said, I read the whole thing cover to cover. I can name other books that I gonged before the end (Crichton's disappointing State of Fear being a recent one), so I'll give it a generous 3 stars. Done right, Antarktos Rising could make a good movie, like Day After Tomorrow set in the Antarctic--and with monsters. And it's already set up for a sequel at the end, too.
