Book Description

Series: Silhouette Desire | Publication Date: August 1, 1995

MAN, MYTH . . . LEGEND

He had inhabited a world destroyed ten thousand years ago -- Atlantis, a place now lost to him forever. Kept alive in a state of suspended animation, Kynan awoke to find a more primitive Earth and only one woman to help him fight those who would destroy him.

Archaeologist Jenna Farron had uncovered a man like no other, a man who sent her senses soaring and left her breathless with passion . . . and despair. Though she longed to surrender herself to Kynan's powerful embrace, she feared he would be forever torn from her once he found others like himself.

In a frantic search to find a lost civilization, they would face a most desperate choice: destiny or desire?

This review is from: Man From Atlantis (Spellbound) (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)

Blending ancient myths and her own cleverly crafted ideas of Atlantean society, Judith McWilliam's The Man From Atlantis was enthralling from cover to cover! The relationship between the main characters was well developed, the "bad guy" was allowed a round, human personality, and the scenes were vivid and imaginative. In the Man From Atlantis, McWilliams blends science fiction elements with romance and passion into a surprisingly realistic novel.

DESCRIPTION FROM BACK COVER


JENNA FARRON: ARCHAEOLOGIST IN SEARCH OF A LOVE LIFE

These days, eligible, attractive, single men weren't exactly coming out of the woodwork! So when Jenna stumbled across a gorgeous male specimen, she couldn't let a mere ten-thousand-year age difference interfere with romance! Besides, everyone knows older men are sexy!

KYNAN: DISPLACED CITIZEN IN SEARCH OF ATLANTIS

Returning to the lost civilization wouldn't be easy. This world was bursting with tantalizing delights: chocolate, television and Jenna. Kynan had expected the sexy creature to turn him in to her government--not turn him on in her bedroom!

This review is from: Timetwist: The Man from Atlantis (Mass Market Paperback)

There aren't many books that manage to suck in two genres, but "The Man From Atlantis" fails as a romance and it fails as a science fiction story. I'm not really surprised, whenever Silhouette authors (or any series romance authors) make an attempt to write sci fi the results are usually spectacularly bad, but usually I'm able to gloss over the crappy parts and enjoy the relationship, but not in this case.

Kynan is completely unappealing. I realize that he's been thrown into what he sees as a strange and barbaric world, but he comes off like an arrogant prick. Let all of us primitive people bow before your superiority, you god of a man. Bleh. The heroine, Jenna, is okay but she's really, really vanilla. After I was done reading the book I couldn't remember a single thing that she had done or said. She was that dull.

I won't spoil the ending for whoever might be bored enough to read this (as if it's possible to spoil something this bad. Reading it is like trying to drink milk that has turned) but Kynan will be faced with a choice: leave Earth to be with his people or stay with Jenna. By the last chapter I was ready to bankroll the mission myself. Get the hell off our planet you bastard, and stay off!
