Sink: The Lost World
A sinkhole is a natural phenomenon. It can happen anywhere, anytime. It drinks lakes dry, consumes jungles, and even demolishes entire mountains. You may have seen one in your street. But these things aren’t lost. They’ve simply been moved. Things are forgotten on the surface all the time. Beneath the crust, they’re always remembered.
SINK. A forgotten world. A lost world. But not for long.
SINK. A forgotten world. A lost world. But not for long.

Sink: The Lost World - a review by Rosemary Kenny
Brilliant author Perrin Briar highlights the contentious and extremely relevant issue of fracking, starting with the title [is our modern world doomed to be 'lost', as the the missing humans and even the dinosaurs were?] and by using clever references to Jurassic Park and Planet of the Apes [among others].
George Tate is the seismologist tasked with maintaining and recording subterranean activity at a fracking operation in Alaska. One day a tremor near his camp quickly causes a dangerous sinkhole to appear and George is pulled down into what lies beneath, vanishing for seven years.
George's son Aaron, regarded as a geek and a loner at school, never gives up hope of his father's return; in the meantime he hopes to become a scientist like his parents. For me, he is the most well-rounded and likeable character in the book.
Having grieved and been lonely for so long, Aaron's Mom Zoe (also a seismologist), is assigned to give a presentation on fracking to the board and owner of the Angelo Fracking Corporation. There she meets and is mutually attracted to its CEO, millionaire entrepreneur and techno-geek, Bryan Angelo.
Bryan's wife, a travel writer, also mysteriously disappeared seven years before, leaving him to raise his 'princess' of a daughter Cassie, who by coincidence is in the same class as Aaron, although they're in vastly different cliques.
Can the reluctantly united teens each accept their birth parent's 'replacement'?
When life-changing events occur, will this dysfunctional family unit pull together - or be driven further apart?
Will Cassie eventually realise that Life doesn't owe her a living just because her father's wealthy...and her so-called friends only cling to her because her designer wardrobe and free-spending ways make them feel good by association, not because they really like her?
What impact will the family's subterranean decisions have on each other?
Will they live more ethically - and happily - from now on?
This cleverly-constructed book raises uncomfortable questions of the morality of how humanity is damaging the planet [possibly irreversibly], in the greedy quest for evermore profit...a wake-up call to us all!

Interesting
Overall an entertaining tale with an interesting cast of characters. The juvenile characters actions in the book seemed way over the top and just plain cruel and that took some from the story. I liked the story enough that I will read book two.

A good read
A bit slow to start. Very interesting premise. Love the return of the Indians and the Jurassic Park / Flintstone war with the Planet of the Apes.

now i am hooked. This was such a great, easy and creative book. i was hooked after the first page.
The characters were easy to fall in love with and follow, along with the story. the author made the mental visions so easy and vivid of the surroundings and the characters actions felt so real.
i would highly recommend this author and this book.

This book was a disappointment. I hate writing negative reviews, especially when a book isn't all bad. This one wasn't bad. I just wasn't very good.
When I started the book I realized I was reading a young adult novel, and not a particularly good one. I searched the internet to make sure and it appears that this is, in fact, written for adult readers. I decided to keep reading it as a YA novel because I wouldn't have gotten through it otherwise and I hate wasting money. I am surprised at the high ratings this book has on both Goodreads and Amazon.
Some spoilers follow, so beware.
So, the book starts out pretty good, but then after the one antarctic scene (or wherever it was), things went ... down the sinkhole. Yeah. I just went there. Okay, so I'll spare all the details, but the first half of the book was kids trying to break up their parents by being immature. And eventually the plot was pretty much directly taken from the move "The Parent Trap". It didn't even try to change the tricks that were played on Vicky (or Meredith) during the annual camping trip. I was annoyed and in serious disbelief that this "family unit" would decide to bushwhack-backpack. I'm a hiker and a backpacker. I would never take inexperienced people bushwhacking on their very first backpacking adventure (or probably ever).
Then the sinkhole happens. HALF WAY INTO THE BOOK. Nothing exciting happens between the prologue and the mid point. So, after no one died from being sucked into the ground, we meet strange plants, acid pools, dinosaurs, apemen, Native Americans, and glow-bugs that create a sun in this giant underground jungle. I knew from the beginning that Zoe's husband was going to be in the jungle, so that wasn't a surprise when we find out that he had been there. ... and then at the end? Do you really think it is a good idea to go into the crack where the natives dump their dead bodies? Not one character seems to have any doubts about going right in. I don't know that I would have. If they did have doubts, they were not made known. One really has to suspend disbelief in order to read this sucker.
I give this 2 stars because I made it through the book, and I'm actually a little bit curios about what happens next. I'd recommend that this book be marketed to young adults. I will not be reading the next in this series.

Great adventure series
I don't know what I was expecting but not such a great beginning to a new adventure story. Taking the dangers of Fracking to a new level, Briar has given us food for thought as a series of very lark sink holes are exposed during the fracking process. Bryan Angelo an business man who has make millions creating and selling companies has now entered the oil business and found Fracking to be the new energy source. He hires Zoe Tate, a seismologist to give him an in depth review of the area he is seeking to begin. Unknown to anyone Zoe and Bryan have taken their relationship to a new level. But they both come with baggage; Zoe has a son, Aaron, who is convinced his father, who disappeared seven years ago is still alive and does not take the news of a potential father replacement well. Bryan has a social climbing daughter, Cassie, who sees Aaron as the ultimate geek/nerd insult to her world and reputation and will have none of it. They comprise a plan to split them up. What they didn't expect was Zoe wanting to spend time out in the wilderness, away from civilization to 'get to know' each other and hopefully allay their fears. As a compromise they head out in the direction of the new fracking site but will only visit to ensure everything is going well then head out on a camping trip that will lead them to the biggest adventure of their lives. While it does go in the direction of Journey to the Center of the Earth, it also goes into its own direction since there is more to this Lost World as we have to families that have learned more about each other than they are finding comfortable with. While it draws them closer together it also has the danger of tearing them apart as their 'real' self comes through. It is an adventure that begins as a love story, goes into brief journey into a Mean Girl type story and brings us back to an adventure story with more than a few surprises as the four people discover things about themselves that can either tear them apart or bring them together. I could easily see this as a family movie/young adult/adventure movie series or even a trilogy, depending on how far the author wants take it. It sure is a good start

I was kind of skeptical at first on reading this book but I decided to give it a try still. I was pretty impressed with the story being told.
The world that is created below a sinkhole seemed like something you would see in a movie.
How a simple camping trip can turn around within a blink of an eye is just crazy and the author did a great job with describing how the event happened to the world that Aaron, his mother Zoe, Cassie and her father Bryan find themselves in. They meet new people and new creatures though not everything in this new place cares for them. Will the survive?
I did like how the characters Aaron and Cassie didn't get along it made it seem to real in a way though at times Cassie was just very annoying.
Now you would think this story would be fast paced but it is far from it, I felt that it is kind of slow until the family found themselves in another world and that is where the pace picked up for me.
The story starts off pretty strong Aaron's father George is working in Alaska when he disappears though years and years have passed Aaron believes him to be alive. So when his mother decides to be with Bryan Aaron is a bit hurt about it. Zoe and Bryan want to bring the kids together so they can take their relationship even further but will it work or will it go down the drain?
I do hope there is a sequel so we can more of this underground world that has been discovered, I want to know more about the mysterious people that were once there, and know if this family will ever see the top of the Earth ever again.

Like Lost World (the real deal from 1912) and Journey to the Center of the Earth before it (1864) Perrin Briar takes the adventure below. Instead of traveling in time, it's a straight shoot down, which the eponymous Sink enables. This time it's a would be family a man and his teenage daughter and the woman he loves and her teenage son whose camping trip ends up taking a turn south. Beware the evils of fracking. Briar writes very lite stories, it's just pure lite reading, it isn't literature and it doesn't pretend to be. Therefore all the criticism of the other reviews apply (it does read YA with some minor implied sex between the adult characters intended to presumably make it more mature, it's can range from trite to inane plot wise, it's cheesy), but doesn't really matter. It's just fun, a mindless silly blockbuster flavored B movie fun adventure, it's entertaining and reads very quickly. If you're going in with your expectations adjusted to Briar setting, you'll just amuse yourself for a few hours. Plus the author seems like a genuinely nice guy who really appreciates his reader, he even provided a copy of this book gratis just for asking. There is a sort of prequel/teaser novella available for this series and then there'll probably be sequels too. If you like the idea.

A SIMPLE MAN'S REVIEW:
I hate doing these types of reviews. The author put a lot of time and effort into this work, and I'm sure he has some great books, but unfortunately, this was not one of them.
The first half of the book is like a bad parody of the movie "The Parent Trap", except the kids want to break their parents up. The behavior and dialogue from the teenagers is completely unrealistic. Maybe if the kids were 10 or 11, I would have bought it.
The second half of the book is a bad copy of "The Lost World". Again, completely unrealistic, even if the reader has already suspended disbelief enough to allow a world beneath the surface of the planet. The author sort of went with the "kitchen sink" approach - include anything and everything in this new found ecosystem. And the logic behind how artifacts (and people) end up there is mind-boggling!
Which brings us to the end. I'm not going to spoil it other than saying it is exactly like the original "The Lost World" movie. Not even an original idea for escape? The end does set up the next book in the series, but I will not be reading it.
Skip this one.

I think I can be forgiven for thinking that this would be a cool SF story about an undiscovered land. I expected danger, excitement, exploration. Instead, I only made it through half of the book. Why? Because after one small sinkhole at the beginning, the entire rest of the book so far has been about two classmates trying desperately to break up their dating, getting-serious parents. It was eyeroll-inducing at first, and cringeworthy; both kids tried to completely humiliate their parents at a fancy restaurant. But when the parents decided to go camping, that’s when the kids, particularly the teen girl, ups her game to things that could physically harm people.
So, not only did I not get the book that the blurb promised, but I got something totally different and not in the least bit fun to read. It isn’t worth reading another page. At this point the rest of the book could be something amazing and I still wouldn’t pick it back up as long as it had the teens (Cassie and Aaron) in it.

I was given this in exchange for an honest review - I don't do any other kind!
Loved this story - hated the title! Sorry...
This is a sort of cross between early Earth stories, the original Lost World by Conan Doyle, and all those fantastic B-movie matinees that we would see in the cinema on a Saturday morning (I'm showing my age now!).
I really enjoyed this. It is a very visual, imaginative story, and as with all good stories you can 'see' it in your head. Regardless of genre, Perrin Briar is well versed in writing about the good, and bad, in relationships. This book is no different.
The reader goes through every event and every emotion with the characters. With every book written, I enjoy them more and more. I look forward to the next instalment...actually I can't wait!

** I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.**
'Sink: The Lost World' completely surprised me. Perrin Briar brought quite a few genres together in this book. The storyline was quite intriguing. I can't imagine going on a camping trip only to be thrown into a completely different world. The characters were great. Bryan, Zoe, Aaron and Cassie are tested personally and as a family unit. They were put in a situation that was both interesting and scary as crap. I hope there is another book following this one to answer questions that left me wanting more. A great add to your tbr list. My favorite quote:
“Sometimes it was hard just keeping up with her. She was an author, all imagination, no common sense. People like that are special, different”

Briar has put together another amazing adventure, a look into a completely different world that leaves the reader absolutely absorbed. It's a special talent he has, to create these worlds in such detail that it carries the reader right into the middle of the story. This is probably my favorite so far of his, although all of his books are wonderful. This would be a great one to start with if you haven't read any of his books yet, though watch out--you'll be hooked on his work after this one. Grab this up and be ready to be glued to the book (and entertained) until you read the very last sentence.
November 21, 2015
Another great book by Perrin Briar. It had some similarities to his RobinZom series, but enough differences to keep the reader interested. His descriptions were quite precise and made the reader feel like they were right there watching everything that was happening. This makes for a great more enjoyable read when an author can do that. I hope that there will be a series of books created on this topic, because there were some loose ends that need to be answered. It would not be good to leave a reader hanging wondering what happened to everyone.

Should have been sunk before it saw the light of day.
I almost gave up on this book within the first few paragraphs when it became obvious that the author doesn't know the difference between a jet ski and a snowmobile, but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, and soldiered on to the end of the first chapter. At that point I found myself drowning in cliches and gave it up to preserve my sanity. There may be a market for this kind of book, but it's not for those with more than a modest amount of brain cells functioning.

Sunk my teeth into this one
Fast paced and exciting, despite being a shorter choice of my books I read, I was captured from the start, enjoyable and not so enjoyable characters abound. My only issue is I want more, with so many unanswered questions I cannot help but hope that this is the start of a whole new world to explore.

This was a good book after it finally got going. Lots of excitement. The first 45% is taken up in adolescent selfishness and dialog. I think this may be better suited to the younger teen readers.

Great book! I wish it had concentrated a little more on the fantastic "lost world" instead of squabbling kids above ground, but it was still a great read! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and can't wait to read more!!

Ran through the jungle
I read until the sink hole and into the Dino's and native Americans then the apemen then I just skimmed the rest because plausibility escaped. The ending disappointed. I thought if it gets better maybe it ends well I'll go back and read more details. But no!

Good read even though it reminded of the "Lost World". Good characters and interesting story. Hope there is
A sequel. I do not understand why there is a word minimum with these reviews. It is very stupid and meaningless.

Sink is a modern twist of Verne.
If you enjoy a story that takes time for character and relationship building before racing headlong into the stew, the Sink is your read. Not bad, hope the sequel moves a bit faster now that the groundwork is complete.

Not bad for a simple story
This is a pretty simplistic story. Far-fetched and unbelievable , but it was okay. I'm assuming there's to be a second book so that we can find out what happened to these people. I'm not sure if this is YA novel or not but it read that way.

Down the sink
I kept waiting for something to happen that was unlike so many Jules Verne wannabes. Never happened. A waste of good reading time.

Slow beginning but enjoyable
Was fun to read
Took to long to get in to the action
Characters where almost believable had fun reading

Good story line. Liked the characters. Could have done without the sex scenes! Left you hanging. Hope there will be a sequel!
