Story
When George d’Clare receives the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, he and his wife. Madison. organize a support group. This noble endeavor eventually leads them to meeting a strange man with an incredible story - a captivating tale about a device that could transport a person into the future and return them safely to the present. His far-fetched account also comes with an equally fantastic offer: to help him in a daring plan to use the device to bring back the cure for the disease. Thinking the man suffers from dementia, George dismisses him as delusional.

Poor all around
Reviewed: 03-30-23
The characters are unrealistic, the dialogue is stilted and the performance wooden. I tried to power through- but couldn’t do it.

Story
The Yellowstone super-eruption has put an end to modern civilization. As cities and countries continue to fall, the colony of Rivendell in the alternate Earth known as Outland looks more and more like the only real hope for humanity. But life in Rivendell isn’t getting any simpler, either. Bill and Kevin continue to discover new worlds; the population continues to rise; winter is approaching; and everyone has their own opinion about how things should be run.

Horrible book.
Reviewed: 02-23-23
If you enjoy endless dialouge in meetings with the basically the same character (they all are the same person with different names) - you'll love this one. And Dennis seems incapable of keeping his political views out of books now (border control being the most obvious). Ray Porter does a brilliant job trying to bring this thing to life - but there is just no hope for this book.

Heartbreakingly Disappointing and Insulting

One of the worst sequels
Reviewed: 12-08-20
I don’t even think he wrote the book. Outside it being a preachy “woke” manuscript- it was uneven as if written by multiple people.

Bad Old School
Reviewed: 02-27-19
I"m OK with old school approaches, but when a book touts a direction that never worked, it's absolute junk. It really is an outline of what's considered a lone wolf selling style, which is never repeatable nor should be followed.

Repetitive with little to now insight of overall species loss. I was hoping to learn more about individual species, trends and numbers.
