Title: Cyborgs. Why did it have to be cyborgs?
Review: If there's one thing Steve Alten has, its range. He's able to constantly surprise in his books. Even to the point of making old, used plot twists seem new. As characters change alliances, it almost feels as though its the first time you've seen this happen in a book. Its hard to see what's coming next. Goliath is really an interesting book. Its filled with characters that are constantly changing, mutating, becoming something more than what they started out as. If I could make only one complaint about this book, it would be the amount of gore and gruesome imagery. But in fact, that's hardly a complaint at all. It helps to draw the reader into the story. It isn't often that a book has such a power to move me. Even if its moving me in an uncomfortable direction. I would suggest Goliath to those looking for a good action/adventure story with believable characters and a story that seems to keep evolving right along with the submarine's AI, Sorceress.
