I Loved This Book

This was a great, gripping book. If you love James Rollin, you will love this story. The return characters are likable and lovable as always. The concept and research he did was excellent. The storyline is interesting and the action scenes are fast paced. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I don't want to spoil anything, but if you read his last novel, you must read "The Last Oracle." The last page leaves you dying for his next novel. This is assuming you have read his other novels.

Depend on James Rollins for Wonderful Books!

James Rollins is very prolific and can pick a subject out of thin air and make you drool all the way through the book! He is a wonderful writer, and his books are winners every time. He varies his subjects and keeps you excited, scared, happy, sad, whatever - during the entire process of reading all his books. "The Last Oracle" is no exception! A Number 10, again!

Jumping The Shark

This book moves along, and although all tales in this genre ask the reader to stretch the bounds of imaginative credibility, this one is at the absolute limit. However about halfway through the book Rollins "jumps the shark" with an Indiana-Jones type scene that makes you curl your lip. At that precise point you feel a fool for riding along with the imaginative plot - "how can I disparage THIS scene when the story up to this point was fairly unbelievable?" It's like getting booted from your "escape reading" and slapped across the face with a made-for-TV scene from Aaron Spelling.

Anyways, it's a good read and if you buy into the plot for the sake of the read, which I mostly did, it is a fine escape and well-written.

Good read but a let down from previous books

I have enjoyed reading all Mr. Rollins' previous books, and this one is no exception. The book captured my attention quickly and moved at a fast pace. Like the other Sigma Force novels, this one starts with a historical event that has a bearing on the rest of the story and then moves to the present day. As always there is a ton technical and scientific detail throughout the book. My biggest complaint about the book was the abundance of separate story lines. In past books, the author has featured several different story lines, but they never seemed to distract from the main story as they did in this book. With all of the jumping back and forth, I felt the connection the author normally develops with his characters was lost. The book is still a very good read, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Mr. Rollins' books or is looking for an entertaining read.
