A good adventure for all ages

I enjoyed the story line and was not disappointed by the adventure. Young teens would be able to read this and enjoy it. You cannot read only the first book so you might as well get the whole series. The adventure continues in the other books.

Excellent!

This is the prequel to "Antarktos Rising." It gives insight to the other book's characters as they embark on their mission to Antarctica. This is a fantastic read and an easy page turner. I greatly recommend this book, and the following two books available (so far) in this series.

Excellent!

This is a fast-paced book that is full of twists and turns. There is no figuring this one out early. Can't wait to read the next one.

Myth, snowflakes, dinosaurs & blood

This book was an intense, action filled, dramatic, race car ride I simply didn't want put down. What a ride it was!  Magic, myth, science, religion, the believable & unbelievable unfurled itself from my iPhone, piercing the blackness of our room & whipped me away on a snowflake wind into a world I never would have imagined. Until now. I warn you: grab a cup of tea & snuggle into a thick quilt - it's about to get cold. Really cold... The pacing is fantastic - not a boring part to this tale. The descriptions fascinating - I felt as if I were accompanying the main character on his painful journey. The language - easy to follow & fun to read. No, I'm not going to give you a breakdown of what this book's about: that's what the preview is for but I will tell you this: From start to finish, I was completely engaged. No, it is not JUST a children's book - sheer nonsense - it will delight both young & young at heart alike. In fact, I'd peg it as more of a young adult book than children. I'm anxious to begin reading the sequel. I've read one other book by this author. Robinson's fluid writing style is quickly making him one of my favorite modern day authors. Excellent work & thank you for a wonderful read! - Ashley Knight, author of the FINS Trilogy

great stoy!!!!!! fan of these books for life.

A MUST READ!!!!!!

Action-packed from the get go!!!!! Can't wait for the next in the series.

Not just breaking down the YA clichés, but stomping on them

What can I say about Jeremy Robinson's first YA adventure tale that hasn't already been said? This series is going to be huge. This book has been tearing up the Kindle charts. It WILL find it's way to print at some point, I am sure. This book doesn't follow the presumption that YA books can't be harsh. I've heard others compare it to The Hunger Games, but this book goes farther into challenging material for the YA crowd. We see the main character first seem like a normal kid that we all have been (although not all of us were kids in the 80s, I think that aspect will be like a window into another world for today's youth), but then we learn more about him and realize that he's nothing like us-he's a genius. Then we see that even as a genius, he can have the same hope, fears, and teen awkwardness that the rest of us have experienced (and he can still accidentally break windows like the rest of us too). Then we see him put through unimaginable torments and learn to survive them with the resilience and determination that we would like to think we would have, if put into the same situations. In reality, we would probably crawl into the corner and cry. As if that were not enough of a character development roller-coaster, we see the main character become something we would not want to be. The we see him find a unique way to redeem himself. All of that alone would have made a fascinating book, but Robinson, in his typical style, manages to cram the book with enough suspense and action scenes to make a blockbuster-movie fan weep with joy. Oh, and this is just part one! I have heard that the author plans 5 sequels. The Antarktos Saga has the potential of becoming an EPIC fantasy/adventure series. Already, the first book stands as one of the author's best. It is a prequel to Antarktos Rising, and I'd recommend that book as well. This book is not only for the YA audience-it reads equally well as an adult-level adventure tale. This book deserves all the 5-star reviews it gets. It should be the next thing you download for your e-reader, and you should demand it in print as well!

Great writing

This was some of the easiest reading I have done. Very interesting story, though end was missing so I assume a sequel is on the way.

Adventure and Thrills for Adults and Teens

Bestselling thriller author Jeremy Robinson makes his first foray into young adult literature with The Last Hunter-Descent. When thirteen year-old Solomon returns to Antarctica for the first time since his birth, strange things begin to happen, and he soon discovers there is much more to his story, and to him, than he ever imagined. The plot turns dark and mysterious as Solomon is drawn into a world of ancient mysteries, powerful warriors, deadly creatures, and supernatural powers.

Robinson brings the best parts of the modern thriller to the YA genre. Descent moves along at Robinson's trademark fast clip, though without the frenetic pacing of his contemporary action thrillers. Teens who love adventure will enjoy this book, as will fans of his adult novels, Antarktos Rising in particular. Set off on an Antarctic adventure today with Descent!

Thrilling Young Adult Adventure!

I had a lot of fun reading this book. I like Young Adult books but reading this felt like it would work well for adults, too. I best loved reading about the survival part, even the gross bits where Solomon, the main character, ate strange creatures to stay alive. A sense of urgency ran through the whole book, driving me to keep reading even when I needed to stop! I definitely recommend this book, especially for teen boys and those of us who like adventures in strange lands.
