Mysteries Magazine review,

This review is from: Lord of the Dead (Human Origins Series, Book 2) (Paperback)
In this novel by Lisa Shiel, Katy and Rick are a normal American couple who enjoy outdoor sports, decoding ancient languages, and own a pet Bigfoot. They are also being stalked by extraterrestrial "Planners" (an advanced branch of humanity who live at the bottom of the sea) because they discovered that the human species is a billion years old and that Bigfoot is the real descendant of early man. Now Katy and Rick have to find the ancient Egyptian artifacts that the Planners so desperately want, or else Rick's father, who is being held hostage, will be killed.
Will they succeed in their task or will the world be destroyed? Does anyone care? Not likely, considering the two-dimensional characters, improbable situations, and scenarios seemingly drawn from B-grade movies and conventional UFO mythology. In fact, Shiel's world is so rooted in mundane Americana that UFOs attacking bridges seem like highway traffic jams; the Bigfoot that roams the hills behind the house seems like a grouchy Malamute and exotic locales such as Egypt feel like they were based on a mini-golf course. In the end, there is little to be recommended about this novel. Mysteries Magazine |
