What happens when an A.I, programmed to go into space, changes its mind, and decides to live its own life? Preston tackles the question of Artificial Intelligence and what happens when they are so self-modifying and quick to learn that they can function as a human being who can also control a frig...
Preston and Child are back with the third? fourth? of the Gideon Crew series. I didn't read the first few because I wanted to get to the nitty gritty of the encounter and attempted destruction of the creature. The authors do a good job of making this a stand-alone book, with enough references to t...
well..that's interesting. Granted, I'm not actually familiar with most of the authors...or characters. Not really the genre I follow. I do kinda wish similar existed in romance if only to see how other authors do characters.
When I finish a book that totally blows me away, I have to either change genres completely or go to reread a very old fave. This time, I chose to change genres and try a new - to me - series. And it did the trick!This was an enjoyable read. Sort of like the Ilona Andrews book, it felt like some ...
I enjoyed The Ice Limit, although approach Preston's works reminding myself that fiction is "the willing suspension of disbelief." The books is a well-researched lark, just as it's intended to be. I appreciate the author's well-developed characters. The writing is quick and concise. The Ice Limit is...
Wow, I'm only giving 3 stars to a Pendergast novel. Why? It did not strike me as the best work of my favorite authors. There was a little preaching by Pendergast at the conclusion and did we really need that Epilogue regarding Constance? It started off with a bang with all the beheadings, but the ...
Well I enjoyed it but not as much as some of the earlier stories. Some parts of the book just couldn't quite hold my attention and I found myself doing other things. The last quarter of the book, the hunter vs the hunted, had the most action and was my favorite part of the book. I was really looking...
Bereits im 16. Jahrhundert gab es Geschichten um eine Stadt im Regenwald. Mitten im Dschungel von Honduras soll diese prächtige Stadt sein, die lange Zeit unentdeckt geblieben ist. Erst vor wenigen Jahren schloss sich Schriftsteller und Journalist Douglas Preston einer Expedition an, die die Stadt d...
Should a bunch of middle aged men invite me on an expedition into the South American jungle, I will politely say "no, thank you". Chances are that these men are complete idiots, not being aware of the fact that everything in the jungle might kill you. Plus they are lugging so many people into the ju...
It´s my second read of this book and it is still as fun as I remember. The perfect novel when you just want to read something fastpaced, actionpacked and suspenseful and you don´t want to use a lot of brainpower on the words you are reading. And to all of you who don´t like gore: there is a lot of i...
