And, basically, while I can suspend a lot of skepticism, this was too much. Its straight out of Darth Vader-meets-Spock. One of the main characters has an undeveloped innate ability to communicate telepathically with a species of natives in the underground world. Anyway, the other major problem that I had with the book was a mystical device. This stereotypical characterization is annoying. And he has no qualms about killing a Navy SEAL, a young boy, or womenfolk. Well, I was not thrilled with the book because the “bad guy” is the Egyptian Muslim dude. 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. There are mysteries here older than time, and revelations that could change the world. But they are not the first to venture here – and those they follow did not return. 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. The synopsis is: Beneath the ice at the bottom of the Earth is a magnificent subterranean labyrinth, a place of breathtaking wonders – and terrors beyond imagining. And I have a lot of books.Īccording to the author’s site, this is his first novel, published in 1999.

Otherwise, I will soon run out of books to read. Hopefully, someday, somehow, the computer (aka: hate machine) will magically be fixed. I finished another novel today. I read Subterranean by James Rollins.
