Book Review

Future Prometheus
By J. M. Erickson
Enter a world of the past and future where the reader
partakes on a science fiction thriller the keeps your eyes glued to your
reading device until the ride is over.
Future Prometheus is a gripping story that deals with many
important and fascinating dilemmas that has the reader question ethical / moral
standpoints in a very nonchalant sort of way. One of the main points that I
like about this book is that it keeps you constantly on edge, and when you
really take a step back and enter Author J. M. Erickson’s imaginary world you
find yourself thinking that perhaps the events that transpire in this novel
really could happen in our not so distant future.
A small tidbit of what to expect when reading this fast
paced novel are war, poverty, illness, cryogenic sleep, a top-secret government
plot that hides the clues of a long lost past.
Truly this is a thrill ride you will not want to miss. If
you like World War Z by Max Brooks (minus the Zombies) this is the book for
you. If you like past and future Science Fiction novels and movies filled with
twists and turns, then this is the book for you.
I read this book in a day and a half, mainly because I could
not put it down.
In short I recommend this book to all readers who have a
vivid imagination of what the future can hold not only for us, but also for our
children and our children’s children. I encourage all of you to embark on this 160-year journey
into the heart of Antarctica. If your courageous enough, this is where you will find the
key to the future of mankind.
On a scale of 0 – 5 with 5 being the best, this would rate
up as a strong 4 pushing a 5.
The first few chapters started off to be a little confusing
as to what was going on and who was who. Then out of nowhere the novel takes
off the moment the writer transitions the plot into the future starting with
the bitter cold of Antarctica where a violent storm will literally take your
breath away. Definitely a classic that will stand the test of time and one that
I will enjoy reading again and again.
