THE WORLD RACES TO CLAIM A NEW CONTINENT...
A phenomenon known as crustal displacement shifts the Earth's crust, repositioning continents and causing countless deaths. In the wake of the global catastrophe, the world struggles to take care of its displaced billions. But Antarctica, freshly thawed and blooming, has emerged as a new hope. Rather than wage a world war no nation can endure, the leading nations devise a competition, a race to the center of Antarctica, with the three victors dividing the continent.
It is within this race that Mirabelle Whitney, one of the few surviving experts on the continent, grouped with an American special forces unit, finds herself. But the dangers awaiting the team are far worse than feared; beyond the sour history of a torn family, beyond the nefarious intentions of their human enemies, beyond the ancient creatures reborn through anhydrobiosis--there are the Nephilim.
...ONLY TO FIND IT ALREADY TAKEN.

Now THIS is what an apocalyptic end-of-the-world thriller OUGHT to be!,
By Jeff Edwards "RadioJeff" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Antarktos Rising - A Novel (Paperback)
Every now and then a novel comes out that tackles the oft-visited 'End Of The World' type premise...Hollywood is no stranger to this arena either. But while novels and movies abound, not many of them really approaches the topic with a vengeance...that is until now. Kudos to Jeremy Robinson for creating not just a terrifying scenario, but doing it with gusto and with such originality.Crustal Displacement has left the earth in a literal shambles. Warm places are now cold...conversely, cold places are now warm--even hot. One place in particular is the frozen continent of Antarctica--which is frozen no more. With such a global upheaval, you can imagine the catastrophe which has ended the life of millions, and virtually left a large portion of the world virtually uninhabitable. Where do the survivors go now? Good question. Fortunately (or maybe not depending how you look at the storyline...) the continent of Antarctica has thawed and is ready to claim--or so we think. Getting into the mind of characters is almost a lost art-form in the world of novels these days because so few writers do it well (IMO), but Jeremy Robinson has manufactured fictional people who you grow to care about and worry for during such an incredibly horrific time. I want to do my best to help spread the word to those who are of the mindset that if you want action, you can only read authors like Cussler, Ludlum or Rollins. If you like your action big and your stories to be edge-of-your-seat amazing, you honestly OWE it to yourself to pick up a copy of one of his books. Antarktos Rising is not just another spectacular novel, it's an event worth experiencing and definitely a ride worth taking. I'd tell you more, but that would seriously ruin a chunk of the genuine thrills and surprises that await you. If you think that only the best authors come from well established publishing companies...THINK AGAIN...and then go GET THIS BOOK. 18 of 22 people found the following review helpful

Jeremy Robinson is here to stay.,

This review is from: Antarktos Rising - A Novel (Paperback)
This is my third Jeremy Robinson novel, and he just keeps getting better.What I like most about this book is the sheer scope of the story. You start off sitting in a frozen Antarctica with a Dr. and his wife, and the next thing you know the whole continent has shifted, the world is in chaos, billions are dead, many entire contries are just...gone, and the surviving great nations are involved in a race to the center of the last feasible hope for humanity: Antarktos. The problem is, Antarktos has been used as a Last Great Hope by someone else long before the current cataclysm, and those aho are there...well, they aren't real keen on just handing the continent over to the humans. The writing is tighter in this novel than his previous two, as well, and Mr. Robinson knows how to keep eyeballs glued to the page. I'll admit that I was very much looking forward to this read. I will also say it lived up to my expectations and even surpassed them a smidge. It is clear to me that Jeremy Robinson is here to stay. I do have one gripe about the book, and it's the same problem I had with Raising the Past. Once the story was done, I wanted to read more. I know it's a tad cliche, but that's ok. It's true. Hey, Jeremy...how about writing a little faster, huh? I'm ready for the next one! 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful

Great Read!,
By Kay Ellis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Antarktos Rising - A Novel (Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading this book. There was a lot of action in it, plus a lot of new ideas to stimulate my mind. There is a definite religious slant in the story, but it only adds to the interest and excitement of the book. I like how the author ends each chapter, with definite suspense. I would certainly recommend this book and look forward to seeing what Jeremy Robinson puts out next.
