The story is about Robert Eisenbraun. It glosses over the near apocalyptic event called the Great Die off where Robert meets the love of his life Andria. As the story matures, it seems to be going first in one direction, then into another. What annoys me is that some of these story shifts come "off camera" and I found them to be less effective.

Twemlow, Stuart W. Book Review: Mindsight: Near-Death and Out-of-Body Experiences in the Blind, by Kenneth Ring and Sharon Cooper. Journal of Near-Death Studies, 21(1), Fall 2002 Based upon the OSS Project Omega plan and authorized by President Truman, a series of secret shelters were built throughout the United States. Each shelter designed to be self-sufficient for long term survival and very comfortable for long term living. The hero and his Military Working Dog, Klavia, are assigned to one such shelter, Omega 11. Creo que mi valoración va mucho en sintonía con las demás que he leído por aquí sobre este libro. Empieza con una idea muy interesante que pierde todo su encanto hacia la mitad del libro, en el que un giro brusco en la trama nos transporta a un mundo de ensoñaciones que parece sacado de una peli mala en la que se viaje en el tiempo a una época prehistórica. On the brink of a disaster that could end all human life on earth, tech genius Robert Eisenbraun joins a team of scientists in Antarctica on a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa to mine a rare ore that would provide for Earth's long-term energy needs. But as he and the rest of the team train under the ice shelf in preparation for the long journey, trouble erupts, and before they embark Eisenbraun is the odd man out, put into cold sleep against his will…. I get it that the author uses his imagination but some scenes in his Sean Wyatt books, you can't ignore the stupidity of just what he described and in real life it just doesn't work that way.A riveting thriller of catastrophe and one man's heroic effort to save the Earth, from the best selling author of the Meg series On the brink of a disaster that could end all human life on earth, tech genius Robert Eisenbraun joins a team of scientists in Antarctica on a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa to mine a rare ore that would provide for Earth's long-term energy needs. But as he and the rest of the team train under the ice shelf in preparation for the long journey, trouble erupts, and before they embark Eisenbraun is the odd man out, put into cold sleep against his will.... After two successful terms—despite a series of political maelstroms—this humble Southern gentleman united the country behind a common purpose, strengthened America’s standing throughout the world, and kept his nation safe.

Angus Hodgson grew up in Buffalo, New York the son of a naval officer turned attorney. He remembers the Cuban Missile Crisis, air raid drills in school and helping his father turn the basement into a fallout shelter. Scary times that left an indelible memory. To solve the riddle and save the former president, the kidnappers give Sean just one week—an impossible task to evade a nationwide manhunt and solve the most dangerous mystery of his life.

Andria Saxon." Dropping the deer carcass on the floor, she roamed the house, taking inventory. "Air-conditioning … a working refrigerator and stove—pretty impressive, Eisenbrain. What else do you have here?" Otra cosa que hizo el autor que me pareció absurda fue utilizar al narrador para disculparse antes de utilizar frases hechas muy manidas como "el paisaje cortaba la respiración". Yo lo interpreté como "esto me parece un recurso cutre y pasado de moda, pero como no se me ocurre nada mejor lo uso y simplemente me disculpo antes de hacerlo". También tergiversó muchísimo la disciplina budista y las partes esotéricas y espirituales de la novela dejan mucho que desear y me parecen fuera de lugar. I'd grown up in a world of bank bailouts, recessions, unemployment, collapsing economies, and endless wars; my country embattled in a perversion of democracy where corporations had been granted the same rights as citizens. Corruption overruled any sense of justice, the radicalization of the political system preventing the few true representatives of the suddenly impoverished masses from enacting solutions that could have reversed the eventual collapse of society. As my father said, "Human ego created these problems, and human ego will drive us over the cliff. The world would be better off if a computer ran everything." En el mundo del libro (la Tierra en la actualidad), la crisis del petróleo deribó en una Tercera Guerra Mundial, en la utilización de nuevas armas que mandaron a la Edad de Piedra a naciones y, lo más importante, en la Gran Mortandad, donde la excasez hizo que muriera prácticamente toda la raza humana. Ante este panorama, los supervivientes empiezan una suerte de reconstrucción de la sociedad sin la participación del petróleo. Descubren que una sustancia, el helio-3, tiene la capacidad de poder alcanzar la fusión nuclear sin peligro y quieren explotarlo para obtener energía, lamentablemente en la Tierra escasea y deberán ir a la Luna a conseguirlo. Toda la primera parte del libro esta bastante bien, lo suficiente como para atrapar mi atención, sin embargo, la segunda parte se convierte en una historia onírica y sinsentido, de algún modo pierde tal fuelle que no puedo evitar pensar en la perdida de tiempo y esfuerzo para leer algo como esto, una pena, ya que por la manera en que comienza uno espera terminar con algo completamente diferente, si bien el comienzo es mejor que el final, también he encontrado muchas fallas en esa parte de la historia, si, es verdad que es ciencia ficción, pero he sentido que por tratarse de este género el autor se ha tomado la libertad de crear una historia que casi llega a la fantasía o como dije, en una historia digna de un mal sueño, no se me ocurre otra manera de definirla, únicamente en un sueño pueden pasar escenas tan raras y fuera de toda realidad.

To solve the riddle and save the former president, the kidnappers give Sean just one week—an impossible task to evade a nationwide manhunt and solve the most dangerous mystery of his life. In The Omega Project, USA Today best-selling author Ernest Dempsey is at his most impressive. The news media, the feds, local cops—it seems everyone is hunting Sean, and he barely escapes the dragnet as he races to save his old friend. The first, Ike, is a scientist (and also apparently a super-survivalist) with an implant in his head. Ike is a rather crass and unlikable character who only grudgingly chooses to do "the right thing" many times. Every single female character in the book seems enthralled with him and wants to have sex with him (a bit of wish fulfillment there Steve?) even though he seems to basically judge them solely by how nice their breasts are, something he seems obsessed with. The implant, called 'ABE', is a real crutch for the story, as it is basically an info dump machine. ABE, in fact, may have actually made for a better protagonist than Ike, as the microchip ends up making the majority of the decisions and basically telling Ike what he should do next! Four men who meet as college roommates move to New York and spend the next three decades gaining renown in their professions—as an architect, painter, actor and lawyer—and struggling with demons in their intertwined personal lives.

Need Help?

When Robert wakes, he finds the ship deserted and not functional. He escapes to the surface of an Earth terribly changed. The plan has gone horribly wrong, but as he adapts to a hostile environment, he realizes that there is still a way to accomplish what his mission had set out to achieve. But he also discovers that he faces a new adversary of the most unlikely sort. For now, his own survival and that of the woman whose love has sustained him in his darkest hours depend on the defeat of a technological colossus partly of his own making. Shields, Maureen R. Book review: Ring, Kenneth. The Omega Project: Human Evolution in an Ecological Age. Library Journal, April 1, 1992. That's where I stopped and I'm not even halfway done with the book. Why would an author skip over all the most interesting parts, just to get to the part that makes no sense. Oh, and yes, there is tons of proselytizing about clean energy, AI, green living, running out of oil. Normally, I'd be on board, but Alten really wants to cram all this down the readers throats. Confronting a foe that knows him almost as well as he knows himself, he faces the prospect of depending on resources that he has reason to believe will be available on one particular night of a full moon, a night foretold by a mysterious unseen ally to be a pivotal moment for the fate of the earth. The game has changed, and Earth's future depends on him and him alone. During the time after the Great Die Off (This is not a spoiler), Robert invents first one thing (GOLEM) then another (ABE). Much of this is done off camera as well, but both play long standing roles for the remainder of the story. Golem is basically a super computer designed to improve itself over time and utilized to help mine critical resources from the Moon (and beyond). ABE is a microchip Robert installs into his brain.
