The Sixth Extinction #2
Accelerant: Continental Drift
5 stars! Review by 'Readers’ Favorite'
Accelerant...Continental Drift by James Morris Robinson is a riveting novel featuring political intrigue, terrorism, and crime, a colossal tale that is as epic as it is engaging.
The earth has been abused, polluted, and altered in very negative ways and the Genesis Organisation can’t stand aside and watch it die.
Once defeated by the United States Military forces, this shadowy but powerful group retreated into hiding, but now they are returning; well-prepared, well-equipped, and with a force that no one can stop. They have chosen the most unlikely place to wage war against humankind — the Mid-Atlantic Oceanic Ridge....the Puerto Rico Trench.
Their mission: create a new earth under one government.
Can anyone stop the highly skilled assassins or the battleships that are about to be unleashed on the world? Will this create the fix they have dreamed about or an apocalypse?
James Morris Robinson’s work is highly imaginative, featuring a phenomenon that may be fictional but which powerfully reflects the current situation of the earth.
The author masterfully integrates interesting themes into the story like climate change, human mindlessness about the health of the universe, political intrigue, and a lot more. The conflict is well-developed and the plot is built around the huge conflict.
The plot moves very fast. Accelerant...Continental Drift features intense action, and great and compelling descriptions. Readers will enjoy the absorbing dialogues, well-crafted to read naturally. The dialogue helps in both plot and character development.
As I read on, I couldn’t help but imagine how this story could play out on screen. It’s an entertaining read, but it is, above all, a powerful call to awareness.

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.
Something along the lines of an old villain pulp, as a high tech terrorist organization tries to create an extinction event by nuking the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
The head of the terrorists is something along the lines of an Islamic Sumuru. However, she's so busy drinking Syrian Coffee between killing underlings, I felt like she's underdrawn. A few more Sax Rohmer novels, and this could have been better.

I admit, this was a strange book. Until I realize that the author was inspired by Tom Clancy, I didn't quite get the military fiction. Once I figured that out, I was able to enjoy it a little more.
First, I have to give credit to the author - writing a book is no easy task, especially one as large and dense as this one. The author has clearly done extensive research on military and science issues, and that was all very interesting.
The book definitely needed an editor. The beginning especially is riddled with poor wording and typos. However, the creativity of the author and his ability to create many interesting characters, as well as a compelling, edge-of-your-seat story, is impressive.
Give the author a great editor, and I believe he could definitely produce something high quality!

Thank you for the opportunity to receive a free copy of Continental Drift. After reading some of the book I regretfully could not finish it. This is not my reading genre. Once again my gratitude for being chosen to receive Continental Drift. I have already passed it along to someone who enjoys this type of book.

This book started out so slowly for me that I set it aside and read a different book. I decided to try again and I found the book got better the more I read but at times it was so technically detailed that I would get bogged down again. It has a good story if you can read through the details and the bad grammar & sentence structure. I also was disappointed with the book ending and the story was not resolved. Another book in the works??

The sequel to Accelerant: The Sixth Extinction. Being honest I wasn't expecting an exciting fast moving thriller after having recently rated the first novel with three out of five stars. I am happy to report that James Morris Robinson blew my expectations out of the water. Non stop action with earthquakes, tsunamis and incredibly powerful hurricanes. This was so much better than the Sixth Extinction. One of the best novels I have read in quite some time. Powerful stuff. I hope the next in the series is published soon.

A terrorist organization plots to use nuclear weapons and technology to change the alignment of the continents and take over the world. They are quick to execute both their members and other people who get in their way. The nations of the world come together to fight them. The use of advanced technology is key in the strategies of both sides. An interesting look at how terrorists think. I recommend this book to people who like international intrigue. I received this book from Goodreads for free.
