content: I am a big Robyn Cook fan and didn't even know it. I read Robyn Cooks's "Primal Fear" years ago, and loved it. I picked up this book years later because the cover intrigued me and was surprised at how much I was drawn in. I didn't even know it was by Robyn Cook. Now this is the kind of fantasy I like and would love to see now-a-day's. This is a very creative novel with a new idea. Even though scientific theory may not be incredible accurate, he paints it perfectly plausible. Robyn is a very calculated writer and has never disappointed me with his work. I was so drawn into this story, the concept was wonderfully magical and the ending/climax had me stressing. i love when books can pull you in and make you sweat. This book had me totally palpitating. I need to find another Robyn Cook book to keep me going. definitely must read. Perhaps the old cover may note appeal to the newer audience but I'd still recommend it to the newer generation.
