Voila', he now has two story lines from which he can bounce back and forth and double the word count. OH, he falls upon the technique of inventing a main story in which an ACHD neo-geek (being a geek lately is not enough to be considered beyond socially acceptable) has a psychokinetic gift that allows him to sense the life of whatever had touched it when he touches it. The language was sophomoric and the story completely uninteresting. Killmanjaro wouldn't be there after only 25 million years. In the text, the author takes pains to explain to us stupid non-geologists that even Mt. I won't even go into the ridiculous premise that a piece of clothing, even with incredible strength, could be found a few feet under the topsoil after 130 million years. That's twice as long as the dinosaurs went extinct yet these people could have easily been a wandering tribe in the movie 'Apocolypto'.

He really wanted to write a story about a life form that existed 130 million years ago on earth (maybe extraterrestrial?).

I felt like I was listening to a third year college student's final story of the year in his creative writing course. I feel so duped when a book has a great premise and then falls so poorly in delivering the goods that I just want to throw it in a nice hot fire. Probably will appeal to a young male audience the most, but I am the opposite and found it enjoyable. but a page turner that flashes from a previously unknown tribe to the archeologists seeking to unearth the remains. Very little swearing, a little kissing, some violence. It will obviously be a series, although this stands alone, and I'll probably buy the next. I consider it a brain in neutral, have fun read and the writing is basic plot driven, nothing to get excited about, the plot is just so unique it makes up for the writing. but I did it once and rode around nicely in his world without being jarred out. It has made his a millionaire at age 23, and a prisoner of his own OCD type protective needs to be able to function. He has created a uniquely gifted character, whose ability to touch an item and go back to emotionally charged moments that happened while the item was in use. Michael Siemsen's 'The Dig' beats the last contemporary Science Fiction I read, '14' by Peter Clines, by a mile.
