I
won a e-book copy of this book through a giveaway link on the “Chris the
Reading Ape Blog” and the following is my honest opinion for the book.
Being
a child of the 1950’s I have to wonder whether some of the television programs
I watched as a child played any role in the author’s writing this book. Such as
at the end of this story, in the epilogue, where Mars being transformed right
in front of someone’s eyes to a lush earth-like planet reminded me of the
“Space Seed” episode of “Star Trek” starring Ricardo Montalban. And of premise
of having an entire family including their children on the planet reminds me of
“Lost in Space” as the Robinson family travelled through the solar system.
In
this book the author succeeds in placing us alongside those there as they face
their new challenges each day. The sights and emotions are there, especially
when it came to the children banding together not only to search for their
parents who went missing while on a routine research expedition, but to survive
on their own.
An
exciting portion in reading this book came when it is discovered Mars had at
one http://www.amazon.com/dp/1505276594time been inhabited by a race of blue
beings still living comfortable beneath the surface of the Red Planet. A major
player in the storyline is not an individual, but Mount Olympus, the large
volcano everyone had been researching, especially when it came time for it to
explode.
When
I look at how Dennis Day has skillfully pulled together all of the elements of
his book; I’m happy to give it 5 STARS
