5.0 out of 5 stars Super adventure novel... that does stretch some science, 31 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I agree with one of the reviewers who said that they have been to Tiahuanaco, and it isn't quite as remote as the author depicts. However, I thought Mr. Becker did a wonderful job keeping it as true to life as possible. At least as true as Micheal Crichton or any of the other adventure writers (who write about dinosaurs existing on a small island off Costa Rica, for instance.) Frankly, some things must be stretched in science fiction for purposes of the story I feel. As to the other science in the book, I felt it was all right on-- though perhaps from less orthodox sources. At any rate, I agree with the reviewer that the book should get five stars as an adventure tale! It was one of my favorite books of the year.
