Product Description

OUT OF THE MAMMOTH The body of an ancient woman, cloaked in furs, slides out of the mammoth's belly. But it is not the lady that holds the team's attentionit is the object she is clutchinga device created by an advanced civilization.
THE HUNT IS ON The device is accidentally activated, summoning forces who seek its destruction. It is the key to mankind's salvation and freedom from the men behind the curtain, pulling the strings and leading humanity towards destruction.
Reader ReviewsI was impressed by the quality of the physical book, but not by the quality of the intellectual material within its pages. The plot seemed to be laid out as a bad screenplay, the dialogue was stilted, and the characters were shallow. These defects could have been corrected through the judicious use of a good editor. A good copy editor would have helped, too, because the grammar is atrocious. Now, I'm not an effete intellectual, I am an rpg gamer, a voracious fantasy and science fiction fan, but most of all a reader. As a reader, I can't recommend this book.
