Lots of Pseudo Faux Science Fun
Paperback/Sci-Fiction: I figured I'd better get this one off the shelf because 2012 is around the corner and this is a trilogy. I really loved Alten's shark books and this one was pretty good too. Let's get the hard part over: There were some problems: 150 pages too long, slow beginning, undone loose ends. The biggest thing I did not like was the father's journal. Instead of a man, who has pretty much isolated for much of his life, seems to get saner as his journal goes on. The good parts are everything else. I liked the comic book fun of the sci-fi. It was way out there and a page turner. Just have fun with it and don't take it too seriously. The main two characters are likable. The government is conspiratorial. The aliens are evil. What else you want?

Really good Book
I bought this book for my husband and he loved it so I went back on line to buy the next one in the series but Resurrection is not avilible in book form. This upset my husband but the last one in the series is now out, Phobos. Anyway my husband reads all of Steve Alten's books and has never been disappointed yet. Keep them coming.

He should have wrapped it while he was ahead!!
He starts off with the beginnings of a fairly decent plot line- in terms of believability. But he seems to lose the picture and goes off the deep end - the characters engaging in more and more fantastic, unbelievble actions. They happen one after another and you eventually (or at least I) just lose interest. Parts of it- the history and archaeology- were pretty interesting. The story itself had huge credibility holes in it that, for me, were "un-patchable", making it pretty "Ho-Hum".

Why did we have to have Aliens
It was great up until we had the government trying to deal with the alien presence. The plot beyond was good and very plausable.

Dramatic and exciting Steve Alten has done it again.
With romance to an epic fight scene. This book is no exeption to the rule that steve alten is a master at his work. The charachters in this book are his best charachters by far. The moment i read the prologue i was caught in an epic adventure that left you guessing the whole way. At first the present tense format was kind of annoying but after the first fifty pages i actually liked this style of writing alot. The research for this book was phenomenal. This is one of steve's best books. This book was great. It did get kind of dry at times but what book does not. This book was soooooo much better than the cheesy overdone impossible film 2012. So read this book but dont go see 2012 IT SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took my breath away!!!
It's another book I just couldn't put down but that's what I like about reading books in series, the story never ends. In Steve Altens news letter he said that their going to make the movie.I'll be the first in line to see it.

I Also Recommend:
Truly a must-read.
Okay, I found this book while browsing my library--the cover caught my eye. I have always been interested in all the things that this book explains--I mean, everything: from the impact on earth by a "so-called asteroid" to the 2012 Mayan prophecy that says the human race will perish from the face of the Earth. This book had it all, thrill, drama, romance... it was truly fantastic. I re-read this book recently and enjoyed every minute of it, I will never get tired of this great book. I recommend this 100%

Oh, Gan!
Having been an avid if terrified fan of Steve's Meg series, I jumped upon this after finishing the latest of these. I DEVOURED this book, finishing just as school started back up. As Mick sped off to parts unkown, I spazzed out. 'No!', I said, 'That can't be all!? What with all the talk of evil incarnate, and destiny and twins and such!?' Well, as it turns out, I was right. While in Digital Imaging class, I was perusing Steve's site ( Which happens to be a GROSS misuse of school computers) and discovered not just a sequel, but a TRILOGY! The Good Times have returned! Huzzah!

His Best Work Yet!
Aliens, beating up politicans and ancient peoples all put together nicely. I don't think i've ever read a book faster. Every chapter will keep you wondering.

Two-Day Read
WOW! This book is great. Deals with ancient cultures and their lore, but it takes place in the future. It's basically about the end of the world.

STEVE ALTEN IS A GREAT WRITER
I read constantly, and I also read all types of books. I love it when I discover writers who I didn't know about who write books that totally immerse me in the story they have written. Steve Alten is one of those writers. I first read MEG and was totally engrossed in the book so I then read Domain. Domain is as good, if not better, then MEG. If you love action, adventure, a great storyline, and believable characters then Steve Alten writes the books for you. I hated it when I had to stop reading the book and could not wait to get back to the book! I love it when I find books like that!!
