Antarktos Rising (Origins Edition)

A thrill ride of adventure!

Antarktos Rising is the story of an epic journey to a new world after a phenomenon, known as crustal displacement, shifts the earth's crust and repositions continents, leaving countless dead in its wake. As the world struggles to take care of its displaced billions, Antarctica emerges as a new hope. The leading nations devise a competition - a race to the center of Antarctica - with the three victors dividing the continent between them. Mirabelle Whitney, a survivor of the displacement and an expert on Antarctica, is recruited to guide an American Special Forces unit across the thawed-out continent. But they discover the continent has already been claimed by an ancient enemy of humanity and God¿the Nephilim. As survivors of the Genesis flood (Genesis 6:4) and frozen Antarctic, they have re-emerged to continue their dominance of mankind. As the offspring of human mothers and demon fathers they were feared due to their giant stature and evil nature. As Mirabelle and the world race to claim a new continent, they realize there is a danger far more frightening than the evil intentions of their fellow man. Antarktos Rising explores the science behind the Genesis flood, the reality of the Nephilim and the possibility of God using the flood to not just wipe out a corrupt population, but a human race that carried the Nephilim genetic code.

Holy Crap! What a thrill ride!

First, I must thank Stan of Variance Publishing for recommending this book to me. He wasn't joking when he said it would be the best $7.99 I would spend this year. Imagine "The Day After Tomorrow" + "Jurassic Park" x "Indiana Jones" + "Rambo" x the bible. That's this book. The Earth's crust has gone through a massive shift and Antarctica has thawed. I figured this would just be a novel of scientific discovery, you know, adventure with extinct creatures, but boy was I wrong. The population that survived the shift is now too large for the available habitable land. To prevent all out nuclear annihilation, the leaders of the new governments have agreed to a race. Whichever three countries make it to the center of the new Antarctica first will divide the continent for themselves. If you love adventure, military, scientific, or religious fiction, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Quite the Imagination!

It seems that most of the time, ¿global disaster,¿ books are about preventing the event and result of course in a last second catch to save the planet. In Antarktos Rising the author has skipped right past the chance to prevent disaster with how to deal with it. The disaster here, called crustal displacement kills billions of people and renders America pretty much a frozen wasteland as is much of the world that is now the most inhabitable and in this shift causes Antarctica to become the most desirable and inhabitable country. The race for Antartica between three teams is interesting in it¿s premise. Even now, with the entire earth to share we manage to fight over nearly every piece of land so it is an interesting premise to think that three countries could devise a race for the most desirable place and then will honor it. The characters involved in this are complex and interesting and add a great deal to this story which also manages to be very believable while it combines scientific theories with religious ones. Then thrown into the mix of man and religion comes the pre-historic upheaval involved. While this could sound convoluted it actually turns into a fascinating read that leaves one breathlessly turning each page while not wanting the book to end. This book has the ability to keep you awake at night, not only in figuring out how to help solve the problems but also because you just don¿t want to put it down.

A Great Thriller

It is hard to imagine a much more unlikely scenario than a global disaster called, ¿crustal displacement,¿ and then that the paradise or haven for earth will be Antarctica. When you get beyond that, what you will find is a fast-paced, highly entertaining book. There have been disaster books before dealing with the aftermath of an event but none combining science and religion and an array of compelling, believable, characters like Antarktos Rising does. This book is anything but predictable in the obstacles that must be overcome, not only with the characters, countries involved but also the brutal environment of the land and what is spawned from there. This book is very interesting and should appeal to a broad mass of readers. It combines enough truth with what most consider far-fetched events to keep a reader turning pages in a must know what will happen next.

Antarktos Rising, by Jeremy Robinson

A global cataclysm strikes in the form of a polar shift changing the balance of power across the planet. The earths magnetic field shifts by several degrees throwing the planets climate into complete chaos. Most of North America is transformed instantly into an arctic wasteland while the middle east becomes a fertile wonderland. This is the premiss Antarktos Rising is based on.

As North America literally freezes over, Antarctica thaws to becomes the most sought after continent on the planet. And since no nation had land rights to a contentment that had been locked in ice for millennia, suddenly every nation in the world is in competition to lay claim. Despite the apocalypse that is presented at the beginning of the book, competition for Antarctica is the main plot of the story.

Not only has the continent thawed offering a potential refuge for millions of the displaced pollution, but it turns out that Antarctica has its own secrets that have laid hidden from the civilized world for thousands of years. And as countries compete to lay claim to the newly freed land, the teams in placed scouting the continent struggle to survive secrets long since forgotten.

The first few chapters of the book are disheartening as the apocalypse costs millions of lives. But through this adversity, the main cast of characters emerge thought hardship and undertake an adventure that will change human history in ways that have nothing to do with the polar shift.

As I have come to expect with Jeremy Robinson's work, the story is fast paced and exciting but the characters are what really pull the reader into the world he has created. Perhaps most disturbing off all is the factual evidence that such a global shift has happened before and one day is likely to happen again.

This novel was an exciting and captivating read. It is a tale of tragedy and well as redemption. It explores both the best and worst that the human race has to offer. And it toys with the idea that man may not be the species at the top of the food chain after all.

Read at your own risk.

Wow. Just Wow.

This book blew me away. I couldn't put it down even if there was a huge tidal wave heading for my house. After the crustal displacement, the world is knocked off it's axis and Antarctica (Antarktos) is thawed, revealing a lush, tropical landscape that flourishes and blooms rapidly. Another perfect mixture of religion, action, science, and thrills! If you read this book, I seriously recommend The Last Hunter books also by Mr. Robinson. Their story lines run prior, during, and after this book.

This Book Is Awesome!

This book is an amazing thriller of epic proportions. Drawing elements from speculative science, ancient mysteries, mythology, and the author's deep imagination; Antarktos Rising has proven to be an intense and thought provoking adventure that cost me an awful lot of sleep. I seriously just couldn't put it down. Just kept on turning pages to see what would happen next. The plot line moves quickly from beginning to end with no lag time at all. Lots of action too. No dull moments! None!

This book will apeal to anyone who enjoys action-packed thrillers, lesser known Biblical mysteries, ancient mythology, and good science fiction with a plot line that takes place in the here and now rather than on some spaceship in the distant future.

Antarktos Rising has been my introduction to this author, Jeremy Robinson. I certainly plan to purchase the rest of his books in the not too distant future. I think I may have just found a new favorite author!

Ick

The author makes no effort to hide his disdain for anything that doesn't fall in line with his extremely Christian-centric viewpoint. This is like his other work: thinly disguised Chrisitian propaganda.

My favorite new author.

I started reading this author based on a recommendation from Steve Alten, the author of such great books as Meg, Goliath and The Loch and I have to say, his recommendation is spot on. His other book, Kronos, I read that in a little over two days and I'm on track to finis this one in the same amount of time. So I can't wait until his new book, Pulse, comes out.

What a book!

I really enjoyed reading this book, I just couldn't put it down! This was my first book by this author....but i can't wait to read others by him. The way this book is written it will suck you in and keep you on the edge of your seat!! A definate must read!

Explosive, Spine Tingling Adventure

Jeremy Robinson has done it again with his new, explosive action/adventure novel that will keep you turning pages well into the night. Antarktos Rising plunges the modern world into the savage, ancient earth of eons past. Through a series of cataclysmic events, the continent of Antarctica is transformed into an apparent paradise while most of the inhabited earth is destroyed through a massive freeze. In order to survive, the nations of the earth race to claim the formerly frozen Antarctica as their new home. However, as teams from the various countries race to the center of the now tropical Antarctica, they find that the land is not the only thing thawed from the eons of deep freeze¿so were some of the indigenous species that once roamed and ruled the continent. The journey to the center of Antarctica¿now known by its ancient name of Antarktos¿is the least of mankind¿s goals. Once they start, they must survive some of the most deadly obstacles ever faced. Jeremy Robinson takes you on their journey step-by-step through the spine tingling adventure with each turn of the page, making you wonder how the team can get out of their current danger. He scarcely gives you time to catch your breath before the team encounters a new, more deadly danger. If you have a list of books to read this summer, put Antarktos Rising at the top today.

Great fun.

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.
