Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)While not the worst book I ever read, this one comes close. The author, Earl Blinkhorn, does not have a good grasp of grammar, and apparently no editor or even literate friend provided him with any assistance. The very first sentence sets the ungrammatical tone: "Loren and Paul were just recounting when their adventure that began those many years ago now." It does not improve. Another large problem is his use of earthquake and volcanism data. He just dumps it into the text instead of integrating it. It is frequently unclear what relationship the geologic factoids are intended to have to the plot. He also needlessly repeats the data dumps. On dialogue he does do a better job than some, notably he handles it better than David Golemon did in Ancients, another geological thriller. The plot itself is ungainly with a supreme naiveté about government agencies and how they operate.
