3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining But very unrealistic, 11 Oct 2004
This review is from: Domain (Mass Market Paperback)
Just back from a month in the Yucatan and before I left picked up a couple of beach reads set in the local one was "Domain" and the other was "A Tourist in the Yucatan". If you LOVED Erich Von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods," and believe in NASA moon-landing conspiracies, then Domain is a book for you.
If you are a skeptic who can suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ride of B-grade science fiction, you might also enjoy this book but don't expect much based on fact.

As basic entertainment it is comparable to an X files show this does ok. but there is not much in the way of facts here. sophomoric interpretations of archeological legends that were explained away ages ago are the underpinnings of a story that's rife with material filched from an undergraduate screenwriting class.

It's a comic book, which is ok as long as you don't expect more. But for God's sake, if you really want to believe that this thing is talking about SCIENCE, you might as well be a member of the Flat Earth Society. If you want to read a thriller set in the Yucatan check out James Brumfields "A Tourist in the Yucatan" Here the author nailed the settings and the science!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dicovery Channel or Sci Fi Channel? Both and Brilliant!!!, 19 Feb 2004
By C. M. Lowe "craiglowe37" (Wigan, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Domain (Mass Market Paperback)
As a long time fan of Stave Alten's Meg series, I wasn't sure whether, I would enjoy this story of ancient Mayan mythology. I am happy to say that this book not only exceded my expectations, it left me wanting more.
Steve Alten has crafted a superb book, which is part fantasy, but also has a lot of factual text on Mayan mythologies, which he places in the book every other chapter in the form of a journal. He does this and still keeps the plot flying along at lightning pace.
Once picked up, you won't put it down.

3.0 out of 5 stars A compulsive read although a little disappointing, 29 May 2001
When I started reading this book I had no idea that it would be part of a series....and somehow I think that Steve Alten didn't know either. The first two thirds did enough to ensure that I couldn't put the book down until I'd finished it but the last third disappointed me.

Details of the ancient myths and civilisations, as told by the main character's dead father through his diary, were quite enthralling but once the scene had been set through these recollections the story lost its cohesion a little and became too fragmented for my own taste.

The conclusion of the story seemed to happen too fast and without the full "texture" of the earlier chapters. Once I had finished, feeling a slightly empty, and seen that another volume would follow, it tended to suggest that the author wanted to get onto the sequel as quickly as possible.

Repeated descriptions of destruction did nothing to enhance the story. In fact, it became annoying. I ended up skipping the last one.

All told, I enjoyed the book but it left me wanting. I will read the second if I remember. Everyone deserves a second chance.
