Probably not as good as the first... The dinosaurs aren't really as surprising anymore.... But, there's Dr. Ian Malcolm again and some interesting theories and equipment in display... Plus enough action to keep it interesting enough... Not heavy, but enjoyable enough!

Good story and action (I don't think I've ever played the game, but I've listened to the audiobook by William C. Dietz (Flood) and watched a movie..... I really dig the sci-fi/military action ... It's right up my alley (I'm a long time fan of Dietz, especially his "Legion of the Damned" series... His book is what got me interested in the Halo thing)!

Apparently, Dan Brown is to be mocked because he has a formula that works.

I thought that was one of the basic secret of success.... Find a formula that works, repeat!

Crossing of the Delaware completed. Victory over the Hessians at Trenton, day after Christmas 1776!

I cheated, I started reading this book years ago - hence the sudden jump start on the progress. What can be said that hasn't already been said about Sherlock Holmes? Classic great read!

It's been several months since I put this book down, distracted by life, moving, work, and other diversions... It keeps popping into my head because it's so different and it kinda intrigues me... Wonder where it's going with its strange & sleepy enchantress character and weird world. Interesting to say the least!..

Sam Adams and Cousin John Adams & Fam. Ben Franklin, but no George Washington or Thomas Jefferson, yet. Happenings in Massachusetts and Great Britain so far. Adams selected and about to head to Philadelphia for the Continental Congress...

It's good,

2 (of 4) stories down.... Solid writing, stories flow nicely. Think these are sorta casual warmups for the legendary Stephen King, light and not so deep and heavy hitting as a typical King novel. But enough depth to keep you turning pages!

Laura Bowen, Trans-United scientist extraordinaire who has spent decades trying to find her birth-parents, attendsa Tech Convention in Venice. She meets a man who claims to have knowledge of who her parents are - in exchange for Trans-United secrets. .... Then she is sucked into John Strange's dream and sees the Thunder Beings.

We meet some characters in the Trans-United hierarchy, the director and some of his inner circle. While his colleagues are on ab assignment on a reservation in Arizona, John is nering put through done kind of test with a group of other subjects. A common dream, thought to be part of a signal received from deep space, a message Trans-United is trying to decipher and exploit.

... It's been set aside for the past few months (work then too tired to do all the reading I'd like to) .... Oh, well.

Never actually "finished" reading the Bible!

John completes a dangerous mission taking back control of a killer satellite losing team members in the process. His (sorta) 6th sense kicks into high gear.

Now the crew is Earth-side for some R&R.

John Strange, Native American, demonstrates his space-moxy a couple of times drafted into service involuntarily by Mega corporation Trans-Imported (who apparently owns some sort of rights to John's reservation and who's people are somehow contractually compelled into dangerous service for this corporation).

Escaped from Mars. Sowed away on a huge (space) barge. Attacked by assassins. Discovered a large transient and the chief popper's (assassin's) lair...

Survived forced march on the surface of Mars and met-up with an old friend who resides in a moving city and is now a cyborg!
