I have some mixed feelings about this novel, but it does meet my #1 criteria of being entertaining. The author is obviously a little bit of a novice, but I think this is his first effort. His future stories should be great.
The novel boasts one of the most extensive bibliographies I have ever seen in support of a novel and leads me to think he was not very far past his college years when he wrote it.
There are echos of 'Almost Adam' (Petru Popescu), 'Saucer' (Stephen Coonts), and 'Tyrannosaur Canyon' (Douglas Preston). It will offend some Creationists, some Intelligent Design proponents, most Darwin adherents, and all who fervently take their religion straight with no ice and no mixer. I will not give away any more of the story than I have already, but leave that discovery to the reader.
Having said all of that, I would rate the story as excellent, very entertaining, and worthy of your time in reading it. Good job. Well done!
