The OOPArt

by T.J. Wolf

On a secretive night dive off the coast of Maui in 1975, marine biologist Kalinda Earle accidentally discovers an Out-Of-Place-Artifact on the seafloor, triggering an historic tsunami. Rescued along with a cruise ship survivor by a conspiracy-minded ex-Navy SEAL, they embark together on a world-wide quest to discover its origin and purpose, pursued by U.S. Special Forces, agents of a power hungry conglomerate known as THULE, and alien observers--all striving to possess its miraculous technology. From Hawaii to the Philippines to Borneo, their perilous path ultimately leads to the Sarawak Chamber, where Kal and companions, inspired by the words of a Zen Master, escape chaos in the world above, breaching the Hollow Gate, in hopes of returning the OOPArt to its point of origin.

[Jim · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was confusing! I didn’t understand what was going on in a great portion of it and I almost stopped reading about a quarter of the way through. I think there was just to much going on and I couldn’t get a handle on the characters. Additionally, the book cover art really turned off my desire to read the book in the first place. It appeared to be a young adult book with the young female on the cover and I like military science fiction, so there was a number of things going against this book from the beginning.

Ok, what’s it about. Well, the best I can tell is that someone or something has left something on Earth from a prior visit, that has now been found. They want it back. I think there are three somethings, but I’m not sure. I believe the main character is Kalinda. She’s some kind of oceanographer and diver, I believe. Then there’s Louella who is an elderly lady (questionable) and I have no idea why she’s in the book. Then there’s some other guy named Phil Bennetz and he’s involved some how. I think Phil is a UFOlogist or he tracks down reports of UFOs. There are about a trillion other characters that I lost track of about half way through the book. Good luck to you in keeping them straight.

I believe Kalinda now just called Kal, gets caught in an underwater cave during a something. Something was shot into the water by someone that caused a huge tsunami and everyone thought that was the end of Kal. Except she wakes up in a tiny German U-Boat. Now I believe the book took place in present day or just barely in the future. How a German U-Boat gets into the book, you’ll have to read to find out. There’s a lot of mention of Nazis and German soldiers throughout the book. Yeah, I know it’s a strange book.

So, I was biased towards reading the book in the first place and I didn’t really like it after I got through with it and I sure ain’t going to read any more books in this series. I believe this one had an ending that could very well lead to the next, but once again, I’m just not sure what I read!
