I don't know why Hollywood has not adapted this book to a movie. It has everything: drama, suspense, love, romance, humor, sci-fi, plot twists and of course, leaves you hanging wanting more. The book starts out a little slow and predictable but doesn't take long before the pace really picks up. The 3 authors did a fantastic job painting a picture in my mind. As I read the story, it was easy to visualize myself on the Island right along side Dartek.

In summary, this book is an easy quick read. Once I started reading, I could not put it down. I just had to find out what was going to happen next. My only wish is R.B. Antony doesn't wait as long as Steven King did to finish his Gunslinger series.

The only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is because I was disappointed it ended too soon.

I generally avoid really long books because my time to read is limited. But, I decided to give this one a try. The detail was described perfectly, not too much, not too little. The plot had many unexpected turns, and some you expected, but really looked forward to. I was surprised at how fast the pages went, and hated to put this book down. I recently read Timeline by Michael Crichton. This book was every good as that, maybe better. Give this book a try, you'll be glad you did!
