Marina Rocks!
May 1 2011
By ArborGirl
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
If you like Dan Brown, Steve Berry, or Clive Cussler, you'll love this book. I
read it in one sitting and came back to Amazon looking for more like this from
Colleen Gleason (there isn't more yet! Write fast, Ms. Gleason).
She takes the legend of a lost library that belonged to Ivan the Terrible and
ties it in with a very modern-day group of ecoterrorists who believe in the
Gaia Theory--the fact that the earth is one large, complicated organism. These
ecoterrorists live in Siberia and have been trying to get the attention of the
rest of the world for years, and finally have resorted to taking serious
measures.
Marina Alexander, who is sort of like Cussler's Dirk Pitt, does cave search and
rescues and she flies small planes. She's also an antiquities expert. A little
larger than life, but, hey, I like that. Plus, she's more
than just a cut-out action adventure hero, because she has personal problems
that end up being tied into this mess.
It's a great book and I highly recommend it. Here's hoping Gleason writes another
Marina Alexander adventure.

This book is unlike anything I have ever read by Ms. Gleason! It is a fast paced thriller that I simply couldn't put down. I certainly hope that, like the book implies, there is a sequel in the very near future! Ms. Gleason, keep on writing this fantastic thriller, as this one left me thirsting for more.

I've read all of Gleason's other books--romance and vampires--and of them all, this is my favorite.
Although I'm a big romance reader and generally read that genre most often, I really enjoyed this unique, fast-paced adventure novel. It's very different from anything else I've read by Colleen Gleason, yet it still has her flair for description, characterization, and the action scenes she's done so well in her Gardella books.
This story is well-written with not only a fast, complicated plot, but it's also got something most action adventure novels and movies don't: character development. I can't wait to see what she does with the next one in the series! Marina Alexander is a fascinating lead character (a good foil for Dirk Pitt, if you read Cussler's books), and one I hope we see more of. And the supporting cast, each with their own weaknesses, faults and backstory, were interesting and compelling.
The whole idea of geo-terrorists trying to protect our earth from the rape of humans is both frightening and sad. This is a situation where I can relate to the villain's perspective, while at the same time, abhor them for the way they go about trying to get attention.
Although there are aspects of the book that border on far-fetched, that's pretty much the norm for these types of stories--I've come to expect it from Cussler, Clancy, and Dan Brown. But that's the fun of these thrillers.
Overall, this is a thrilling, action-packed book with a thoughtful premise and I hope to see more like this from Gleason, along with her other stories.
