Earth Star

I'm sure you've heard those tracks that start out with some quiet notes, or a soft voice singing a simple tune, then slowly instruments join in until you have a grand, epic masterpiece that just sweeps you away.

Well here it is in written form.

I've read this book three times now, so you can tell that it's got something. It starts out with a young girl worried about her archaeology course and her boyfriend and then...things get epic.

The climax of this book is brilliantly paced, leaves me holding my breath even after reading it for the third time, and just brings everything together so well.

I just really love everything written by this author, and this is a great example of her work.
