Well worth picking up. I loved it!,
By
This review is from: The Delphinus Chronicles (Hardcover)
Cabrillo University in San Diego was granted Simon, the world's most powerful super-computer, for their experiment. Professor Ross Erricson and his graduate students did their research in a small subterranean computer lab that USED to be an auxiliary storage area. One wall was constantly damp due to the Ocean Park dolphin tank being on the other side of the wall. But the heat Simon generated would take care of that and no one worried. No one could have foreseen the unintended consequences that would follow! After all, humans are not the only intelligent species on this planet. ***** This is an astounding novel that I found hard to put down. Every time I believed nothing else could happen to surprise me I was proven wrong. Highly recommended reading!

The Dolphins,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Delphinus Chronicles (Hardcover)
"The Delphinus Chronicles" is an enjoyable book that kept my interest from start to finish with exciting twists and turns of intrigue and suspense. It has components of science, conspiracy, sci-fi theory, and suspense fiction all thrown in to deliver a page turner of a book as you find yourself rushing to find out what happens next. It is a nice blend of Arthur C. Clarke and Clive Cussler.

Suspense at the Speed of Light,
By Kathy Sivba - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Delphinus Chronicles (Hardcover)
From the secret labs of a small San Diego college campus, to the dangerous sea depths off the Greek islands, to a dramatic car chase down California's rugged Route One, The Delphinus Chronicles moves with heart-stopping speed. Ross Erricson and his small group of researchers, while experimenting in communication with the dolphins, have made two incredible discoveries. Not only do these intelligent mammals understand human communication, the dolphins also hold the secret to the beginnings of human civilization on Earth.R. G. Roane sweeps the reader along on this suspenseful journey with vividly drawn characters, stylish narration, and non-stop action that moves through several plot twists at breakneck speed. A fast, intelligent thriller that leaves the reader safisfied, yet hoping for another ride on Roane's roller coaster. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful:

fine SF focuses on how we communicate and interpret event,
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Delphinus Chronicles (Hardcover)
All the great American universities put in a bid to "house" and conduct experiments using the most advanced supercomputer Simon. Though MIT or one of the West Coast IT giants are the favorites, GCS shockingly assigns Simon to little Cabillo University in San Diego. The victory stuns everyone especially Professor Ross Erricson, the author of the winning concept in which Simon would be programmed to teach itself languages.Simon moves into a basement room with a wall shared with dolphins residing at the nearby Ocean Park aquarium. Simon soon learns and translates "dolphinese" into English. However, though Ross, his students, and his mentor realize what they have learned, no one else believes them when they explain a dolphin's look at humanity and warn them of a secret race of people. THE DELPHINUS CHRONICLES is a superb science fiction thriller that never slows down from the moment Simon checkmates the world's greatest grandmaster to the climax. The story line is loaded with intrigue, action, but especially insightful powerful relationships between people, humans and Simon, dolphins and Simon, and the world wide web of sonically connected dolphins so that the key cast including the supercomputer seem real. Though some extra intrigue involving nasties adds drama and tension, it temporarily slows down an incredible triumphant look at how mankind communicates and interprets events. This reviewer's interpretation communicated through this review is that RG Roane deserves strong accolades and a vast appreciative audience for this winning novel. Harriet Klausner |
