Customer Reviews

Good vs Evil. . . . . But which is which?
I have quickly become a Jeremy Robinson fan. I have bought and read all of his published novels so far. I will pre-order his next available title. I don't do this for just any author, only authors whose books I know I will truly enjoy.

This novel has action, suspense, thrills, good vs evil overtones, some science fiction, and religious threads as well. Jeremy Robinson manages to wave all this elements together in a very good manner.

It may not be Paradise Lost, but if you enjoy thrills and stories that move along like an Indiana Jones movie, you will love this one.

Great Sci-Fi/Adventure Combo
I am a big James Rollins fan and was recommended to read Robinson's books. I sure am glad I did because this was a great read which reminds me very much of Rollins' early works. I have read some of Robinson's comments and one of the things I liked about this book is that there was a bit more sci fi and monsters than some of Rollins later works. This book reminded me a lot of Deep Storm by Lincoln Child, but it went a lot farther in actually introducing you to the aliens and their intergalactic war. I liked that a lot; I felt that Child did not show us enough of the Sci Fi side of Deep Storm.

Another great think about Raising the Past is the moral questions that it brings up. It certainly is a novel that made you think. I downloaded it for free on WOWIO and was certainly happy. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and really enjoyed the escape to the Arctic. Great job, Jeremy. I have since ordered the Didymus Contingency, and am very excited about that being a Christian. I will certainly be buying your future novels!

Eh
I did enjoy this book it just seemed liked there was something missing in the story. Other than that it's a good quick read and worth your time if you like the author.
