What do You think about Resurrection (2004)?
The storyline is still spinning around in my head. HaHa spinning...."Like a circle in a spiral.. like a wheel within a wheel..never ending or beginning.. on a ever spinning reel"Very appropriate song There were no Aliens only advanced humans wo landed in the past by accident..Wormholes don't take our heroes to another star system... just into the future or the past.A few humans who escape a world wide cataclysm (volcano in Yellowstone) land on Mars but become affected by the environment and thei

Resurrection is a misleading title. It gives a sense of reanimation and life, but one discovers its meaning is more like giving freedom to what's already dead. The story was particularly different from its predecessor. After reading Domain three times and enjoying every line of text, I suppose I always held the sequel in high regard. I thought it would live up to the promise that Domain gave and would reveal the mysteries that peaked my attention from the moment I read the first page. Resurrection was the second stage in love that Domain opened up between Mick and Dominique, but in a crude, hardcore way. It is a graphic, sexual novel that creeps into your mind without invitation. It takes people and twists them into sexually-driven, hungry souls who abuse small, innocent children. A side of Steve Alten I hadn't seen before in past books.The story deviates from our main cast, and it completely ruined it. At first we are presented with Dominique during the aftermath of Mick's sacrifice and how she is holding up for the moment with a new identity, but then we are given a complete new story about Dom and Mick's twin boys throughout their childhood and adolescence. At times the story would completely forget about the basic plot and give more information than what was needed. It prepared us for an ending that didn't even happened even after all the "It's our Destiny, Manny" speeches. It entangled and killed itself describing the ending (even with all those eloquent big words), but alas I finally got to the last few pages of the book, the few pages I had looked for throughout the entire volume. Spoiler!The story finally started to get back on track and gave back our star-crossed protagonists who are yearning to be together, and it also peaked my curiosity once again with the new, perplexing plot and that gave me hope for the third sequel.

If ever there was a book written that could be described as having far too many things going on at once then Resurrection would be that book. Domain, the original book in the series, was an excellent adventure/sci-fi book that managed to create an interesting story based around the Mayan doomsday prophecy. Resurrection should have expanded on that story but instead we are treated to a book that starts off well but from the mid point on becomes almost unintelligible due to far too much information being thrown at you and not enough explanation. The plot becomes far too convoluted and I become lost many times, in fact I even forgot parts of the story as I struggled to remember so much information. It's almost as if Alten wanted to show off how much research he had done and tried to put every little piece of information he could think of into the story.it's certainly not a terrible book and it does manage to entertain in parts but it is far too complicated and a big let down compared to the first book. let's hope the third can get things back on track.
