Helpful Score: 1
James Rollin's first novel, "Subterranean", is a fun, action-packed romp through a world two miles below the surface of the earth. Take "Jorney to the Center of the Earth", add a company of well armed soldiers, a group of top experts,a spirited 10 year old, a terrorist, and marshupial evolution run amok and you have the makings of a page turning adventure. Add a little mysticism and you have a good read. This is obviously Rollin's first novel as it lacks some of the polish and maturity of his later novels but there are enough twists and suprises to make it well worth the read....especially if you are already a fan of Rollin's books or the action-adventure genre in general. The evolutionary concepts are original and interesting but the characters could be a bit better developed and the anthropological interactions between the two races seems a bit simplistic and predictable. But the good guys win and it gets a 3 1/2 star rating from me.
