Imaginative Blend of Mystery, Action-Adventure, and Science Fiction,
By
This review is from: The River (Paperback)
Anthropologist and professor, Del Hawthorne, is on a mission. It begins the moment, an ill and aged Professor Schroeder - a man she believed had died with her father seven years earlier - stumbles into her classroom to tell Del that her father is alive, but about to be killed by someone bent on destroying humanity. To find her father, Del must reach the Nahanni River where he and Schroeder had originally disappeared. Gathering a small team of people, Del begins a risky, unusual adventure, where she discovers a secret underground river, and far more trouble than she bargained for.Cheryl Kaye Tardif's cross-genre novel, THE RIVER is an intriguing blend of mystery, action-adventure, thriller, and science fiction. Vivid descriptions, realistic dialogue, and persistent tension kept me turning the pages to find out if Del and her friends survive the dangers not only of the Nahanni River, but of the evil man has created. The novel's theme is a dark reminder that there are still people out there who want power over life and death, to dominate others, and who believe that science and technology will accomplish this mission. My only quibble is a couple of unanswered questions at the end that I wish had been answered. Still, if you're looking for an entertaining read, then THE RIVER is a great choice.

The chilling secret of the Nahanni,
By Amanda Richards (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The River (Paperback)
Mix some Michael Crichton with a touch of Dean Koontz, add a generous dash of sci-fi and then distill the resulting mixture until all you have left is the good stuff. That, in a nutshell, is "The River".The Nahanni River holds many secrets, but the headless bodies that occasionally appear on the shores and the people who vanish without a trace certainly weren't telling any tales. Del Hawthorne's father is part of a group that mysteriously goes missing, but when one of his supposedly departed friends returns with the news that her father is still alive, Del sets off on the adventure of her life, against all odds, to discover the truth. Her companions are an intriguingly mixed bunch of brains, brawn and raw animal magnetism, and it's not only the river that provides the challenges up ahead. Thanks to a notebook with coded messages and a cryptic map, they find the secret of the river, but only at great personal cost. What transpires next is a swift and horrific descent into the lowest depths of humanity, the result of pure unadulterated greed and selfishness, combined with a peek into the fascinating world of science and discovery. Cheryl Kaye Tardif manages to make her stories exciting and thought-provoking without including pages and pages of filler material, making her books ideal traveling and beach companions. Her book Whale Song is also a definite must-read. Amanda Richards

A Sensational Read,
By Rusty Tallman (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The River (Paperback)
When I picked this book up at one of Cheryl's signings I knew I would once again be in for a treat and would get a lot of bang for the buck. The River is a awesome story that falls into what I call Sci-Fi Fantasy mixed with a bit of romance, not so much that it scares off the guys. It is a story about a young woman that presumes her father dead until one of his friends shows up and lets her know otherwise. Once she finds this out she takes a dangerous journey into the unknown. I don't like to give away what the story is about, but pick up a copy, you won't be dissapointed. It is one of those novels that is hard to put down.
