Ken Follett with another thriller for us.
The plot was not as superb as the other books he had written but the scientifical language imbedded in the story can be understood (or maybe because I am into engineering). The physics of geology and the astronomical relationship of the natural earth and space are greatly delivered.
Well anyway, The Hammer of Eden, in my opinion, lacks the urgency that Mr. Follett is trying his readers to experience. Although there are sequences that may have stricken the reader’s memoria to sweat, the whole story is a traditional Follett - fast-racing and fast-pacing. However, this story is always in the higher note that monotony is evident. The characters are not really that strong, relative to his other books, and the outcome of events are quite indicative of that present status at a particular scene. Also evident of a Follett writing are the hero, aw, heroine, and the thrill.
Still, Follett is Follett and my best author is Follett, but he had a -1 for me on this book. No problem Mr. Follett, you’ve got a withstanding appreciation of +1, 000, 000.
