Mostly a sci-fi book, "Raising the Past" deals with the discovery of an ancient alien artifact clutched by a prehistoric women found in the belly of a wooly mammoth. Sounds fantastic? Actually, it a solid story driven by good characters, plenty of action, and sufficient number of plot twists. The book's protagonists, Eve and Eddy, are teamed up again with their usual crew to set upon the raising of the perfectly preserved mammoth. Once the mammoth is pulled from its icy grave, the explorers find that another perfectly preserved body, this time a 40-year old prehistoric woman, has taken shelter inside the hide of the beast. Both bodies appear to be flash frozen and in great shape. It's what the woman is clutching when she falls out of the mammoth that starts the plot into another direction. The device she's holding is certainly not of this world, nor her time period. Our intrepid explorers soon find that the device is more than likely something left behind by ancient aliens. Robinson does a nice job pulling all of the plot lines together into a story that rumbles along like the SnoCats driven by the crew. I think fans of James Rollins and Matthew Reilly will find "Raising the Past" much to their liking. A team digs up a well-preserved Mammoth, inside it's belly, they find a ancient woman's body holding something unusual in her arms. This book has a lot of action and some surprising unexpected twists. The story sucks you in until the very last page. A very good read.

A mammoth, flash frozen in solid ice 10,000 years ago, is brought to the surface by a team of scientists. An act of sabotage frees the giant from its icy tomb and reveals the secret held inside. The body of an ancient woman, cloaked in furs, slides out of the mammoth's belly. But it is not the woman that holds the team's attention - it is the object she is clutching - a device created by an advanced civilization. The device is accidentally activated, summoning forces who seek its destruction. It is the key to mankind's salvation and freedom from the men behind the curtain, pulling the strings and leading humanity towards destruction. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
