5.0 out of 5 stars "The Reclamation Project" - Genre: Sci-Fi/Romance, April 8, 2002

By 

Ruth - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Reclamation Project. (Paperback)

Ruth Marie Davis transports us to the year 2250 in her spectacular science fiction romance novel. Davis explores what would happen if the infamous Egyptian Library of Knowledge were found. What would those secrets revel? Dr. Lindsey Larimer and Dr. Kevin Sanders will discover those secrets and how they could change the world, as they know it.

Lindsey is an Egyptologist who discovers the Library along with her famous father. The U.S. and Egypt work together to unlock the secrets of the ancient scrolls. The scrolls reveal that a human key is needed to unlock the pyramids' secrets. Scientists determine that this key is an Egyptian Pharaoh; however, the problem is that Pharaohs have not existed for hundreds of years. As a result, a team at IBAT is given government approval to perform the first human cloning on King Tutankhamun and his wife Ankhesenamun. The hope is that when mature, the clones will be the human keys.

Kevin is a member of the IBAT team and Lindsey is brought on board as an Egyptian expert. The two get off to a very rocky start. However, neither can deny the attraction they feel. Once they meet with the scientists working on the Library's scrolls, they are drawn together for a common goal and to explore the feelings they cannot ignore.
Lindsey starts to experience dreams that are almost too real involving the growing clones. She is concerned about the intensity of King Tut and perhaps ulterior motives he may have. Ankhesenamun becomes close friends with Lindsey and will shock her with unsettling knowledge. During all this Lindsey and Kevin solidify their relationship and start thinking about starting a family. Everything seems to be going fine until the secrets of the Library and the clones comes to a head. Now Kevin and Lindsey will have to make tough decisions to save their world.

Davis' novel will keep you glued to the pages. I will not revel the secret of the Library and the clones here since it will ruin the suspense for you. However, they are wondrous and will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is obvious that this author did the necessary research needed to make this novel a success. You will believe that you are in Egypt with Kevin and Lindsey while on their quest to save the world. I expect great things from this author and eagerly await her next novel.

'The Reclamation Project' is quite possibly one of the most fascinating and intriguing books I have ever read! Ms. Davis writes a spellbinding tale that expertly weaves fact, fiction and biblical prophecy into a masterful literary creation. The characters are exceptionally well employed and uniquely described, affording a realism not often seen in the science fiction novels of today...I highly recommend this absolute work of art to anyone who enjoys truly good science fiction!

5.0 out of 5 stars ENCORE...More...MORE, February 5, 2003

ENCORE! If you haven't read a good sci-fi thriller then let me recommend this book "The Reclamation Project" by Ruth Marie Davis.
This novel has got to be the best on the market today. To incorporate such things as we are just now starting to seeing in our own time is amazing. Cloning? Is it that far off that we could possibly clone our famous people of our past? What of our future and the questions of our origin? Could Ruth have possibly stumbled on something or is it just imagination?
I too must admit that this book would make a very good movie...BRAVO - Ruth I look forward to reading more from you....
