Title: Neat Idea, but not well focused
Product review: I really liked the premise of this book; a team of scientists digging in desert discover an Alien relic. Where did this relic come from? and what was its function? What does this say about ancient history and our world as we know it?The answer to these questions, which weaves fact with fiction is the most fascinating aspect of the story, and makes for a good, intelligent read.Unfortunately, the bulk of the plot is focused on a ridiculous plot involving drug lords, the DEA and many boring sequences in which the bad guys are in hot pursuit of the good guys. I had to skim the last few pages of the book because I was so bored at the end. Not my idea of a good time.In the final analysis, I wish the author focused more on his philosophy, ideas, and imagination regarding the alien relic, rather than try to build an action novel which didnt work.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
