5.0 out of 5 stars
Dance, Dance, Evolution!, 18 Mar 2008
By Michael Valdivielso - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rapture Effect (Mass Market Paperback)
The Gnostic Computer System belonged to the Company and but did they have control over it? The GCS needed help. It was just not able to handle the problem it had been handed. The biggest problem anybody had been handed. A war with an alien race. A war which it could not win within the limits it had been given. But the danger was that it might also fail to win the war. EVER. Now it needed human help to make changes within its programming, changes that the Company did not want, changes that even it might not understand. And there was the danger that by changing it, it would change the balance, maybe even against itself.
The story is about first contact, about aliens, about computer intelligence, music, the nature of man, and about war. While some parts seem to be simplistic, there are bursts of genius and plot twists that surprise you. Even the characters, many of which I did not like, were realistic. Face it, if you don't like a character and think he is a jerk, then you are reacting to a REALISTIC character. I am loaning this book to a friend right after the review because he is a sci-fi fan and this is a great book. Get it, new or used.

4.0 out of 5 stars
was not fond of the dancing, 22 April 2010
By D. Stoner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Rapture Effect (Paperback)
Parts of the book took me back to my early years and junior high school dances... not what I want to read about in a SciFi book. Other than that I enjoyed the story.

One of the best books I've ever read!, 26 April 2000
By Travis Pribusauskas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rapture Effect (Mass Market Paperback)
The Rapture Effect is a great story of first contact. There are a lot of subplots thrown in that add to the story instead of detracting. I won't say any more so I don't spoil the story, but if you like stories about first contact, or about secretive government plots, then you will like this book
