However, there is a new challenge on the horizon and it will not be easy.
Sally and Dirk, two dolphins who are able to communicate through a piece of high-tech software, have been enjoying their time and ability to interact freely.
Grumley dishes out some wonderful storytelling and keeps the series on its toes, with a few more novels to follow.Īfter having relocated to Puero Rico, marine biologist Alison Shaw and her team have been taking in all the publicity they can handle. After a stellar series debut, Grumley returns to explore the expansion of linguistic interpretation between humans and animals, as well as something of international drama when a country is found to be secretly extracting items in the Caribbean. Grumley has spent a great deal of time looking at how politics and biological issues meld together in a fast-paced book that is free from the tirade of profanity to express opinions. Grumley is back with the second full-length novel in his Breakthrough series, sure to pique the interest of those who want something with a little sci-fi alongside some true action. The writing is crisp and taut, and I’ll be reading the other works in the series.Sticking with a strong recommendation by a dear friend, I chose to venture deeper into this series. The author, an IT professional in Northern California, is conversant with new technologies, and it shows.
If one can suspend disbelief about a few major plot strands - particularly the idea that an alien civilization would look identical to humans - and just focus on the story, it’s a well-paced, rollicking tale that involves titanic not-so-natural disasters, dueling tsunamis, use of atomic weapons and a fair amount of conjecture about what it would be like to converse with other species. Without giving away too many spoilers, suffice to say that we earthlings have company. The dolphins, Sally and Dirk, become key players in helping untangle a mystery involving a huge structure at the bottom of the sea. Events lead us to the doorstep of a group of marine biologists who are the verge of communicating with dolphins. The novel - a mix of the sci-fi, thriller, speculative fiction and action-adventure genres - opens with a nuclear sub forced to abort its mission deep beneath the waters of the Caribbean. Grumley’s first entry in his four-part “Breakthrough” series.
Ihave a break in my schedule, so I’m reviewing a number of suspense novels that I’ve been reading over the past year.
