Book Review by Susan McMichael
4.5 out of 5 stars
A thrilling ride from the first page…
Armageddon and the 4th Timeline by Don Mardak is a thrilling ride from the first page. This science fiction novel combines time travel, spiritual themes, a fascinating mix of characters and modern intrigue to create an unputtable down novel.
We meet the CIA Director, Scott Cunningham, a former Navy SEAL, and his Assistant Lori Colbert, addressing a meeting after a terrible terrorists attacks. We also meet husband and wife Kathy and Eric who are in Lhasa, Tibet, on a spiritual quest. Through Eric's time travel, both worlds intersect. Mardak's premise throughout the novel is that there "is a spiritual universe, and mankind has the ability to rise into a higher level of consciousness where all conflicts can be resolved peacefully without resorting to wars, or threatening a nuclear holocaust.”

I am currently about 60% through Ilium by Dan Simmons.
Really enjoying the Moravec storyline.
What is everyone else's view of the 3 treads to the story?

I enjoyed that book so much! I was pretty excited to hear they were making a movie of it. Now all my non-reader friends can enjoy it too.


Not as exciting as the first book in the series (Princes of Mars). More of a travelog as the hero, John Carter, chases after the bad guys who have kidnapped his wife and are going to do unspeakable things to her, but never seem to get around to it, even when they have the time.
Still, I love getting back into the old style of writing of Burroughs' time. Lots of words -- even in the middle of a fight. Kinda fun to read again with a new perspective.


The opening lines were great.
"In all likeliness, you shall find me as a bag of skin and bones, with eyes that have turned into stone. It shall seem to you that I had been born like this, the way you see me. But I assure you I too was of flowing blood and aching flesh like you."

I'm currently reading, Genius Intelligence: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ "Genius Intelligence" for a review as well as Words without Walls: Creative Writing in Alternative Spaces "Words Without Walls" and 1984 "!984"
I just finished The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business "The Power of Habit" and though some of the dories were cute, I found the over all basis a bit repetitive and bland.
