5.0 out of 5 stars the best millenium thriller to date, 6 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Waiting (Hardcover)

For thirty-five thousand years, they have remained in hiding, waiting for their chance to strike. Now on the brink of the new millennium, they are preparing to surface because it has become nearly impossible to remain in the shadows without being detected. They feel that the time has come to put in motion their strategic objective to simply take over control of the planet from the inferior Homo Sapiens.

In San Francisco, someone stalks Dr. Lawrence Shea, a member of the Suicide Club. Ultimately his assailant kills him. Another club member, Arthur Banks strongly feels that something sinister is behind Shea's death. Being a TV reporter, Artie cannot help but begin to investigate. He soon uncovers the frightening fact that another species is beginning to place in motion their action plan of superseding the humans before the habitat is fully destroyed.

Readings who have patiently been WAITING for the millennium novel need to know Frank M. Robinson has just written it. The frightening part about this novel is that it seems so real that readers will look carefully at their significant others. Picture a genuine version of The Invaders that combines the terror with a believable premise. Rod Sterling would be proud of this novel except that it could take place here and not the Twilight Zone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sort of a plural of The Power, 10 Sep 2003
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Waiting (Hardcover)
As the various races of humans progresses parallel to each other the faster and more adapt conquered and removed the competition. So the story goes. But what if the others found a way to blend in and for the right time are "Waiting?"

I first saw the movie "The Power" with George Hamilton. Then I read the book "The Power." This just geared me up for "Waiting." What I found was one-third sex, one-third ecology, and one-third plot real similar to the power. However I still enjoyed reading the book and thinking of the possibilities that could have been in it. I was not bogged down with this could never happen or how did the leap of faith take place to determine that the bad (guy) s had to be part of the club from the beginning.

Actually I took an anthropology class in which the instructor said if you thingk that the Neanderthal has disappeared, just walk down in the city and look at some of the people.

Really though I enjoyed the book and if there is a sequel, I will buy it.

If for some reason you were less than thrilled with this book try "The Power"
