| Review for Reclamation Project by Ruth Marie Davis Paperback: 349 pages Publisher: AmErica House ISBN: 1588512924 Order Here: Amazon Book Description ( from Amazon.com) The book takes place in the year 2250. It is the story of Dr. Lindsey Larimer, an Egyptologist, who with her famous father discovers the legendary Library of Knowledge deep beneath the sands of Egypt. The ancient scrolls and tablets within promise to disclose the mysteries of the universe itself, but the writings also reveal the necessity of a 'human-key' to fully unlock the secrets of the pyramids. When it is discovered that the 'human-key' may mean an Egyptian Pharaoh, the government authorizes the cloning of the legendary King Tutankhamun and his princess wife, Ankhesenamun Customer Reviews: Reviewer: Louise A. Lowry, Croydon, PA USA , February 5, 2003 ENCORE! If you haven't read a good sci-fi thriller then let me recommend this book "The Reclamation Project" by Ruth Marie Davis. This novel has got to be the best on the market today. To incorporate such things as we are just now starting to seeing in our own time is amazing. Cloning? Is it that far off that we could possibly clone our famous people of our past? What of our future and the questions of our origin? Could Ruth have possibly stumbled on something or is it just imagination? I too must admit that this book would make a very good movie...BRAVO - Ruth I look forward to reading more from you.... ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reviewer: Emily Lanzoni,Los Angeles, CA , January 21, 2003 WOW! I just finished reading my copy of The Reclamation Project and have to say that it just about left me breathless. I know it's only a sci-fi novel, but with the capabilities we have today, this story-line could well be plausible. I've always had a fascination with the possible alien/ancient civilization connection, which was why I was interested in reading The Reclamation Project in the first place. Legend tells of a lost 'Library of Knowledge,' that is supposed to contain first-hand writings from the Atlantians. Perhaps some day it will actually be found. Using this theory and weaving an intricate story around it, Ms. Davis certainly succeeded in holding my attention from the very beginning to the very end. I had just finished reading the book, "Signs," after having seen it at the theatre when it was first released. To be perfectly honest, that book didn't hold a candle to The Reclamation Project. I honestly hope that Ms. Davis writes a few more novels along these same lines as I could read her work every day and never tire of it. I highly recommend The Reclamation Project to anyone who enjoys good sci-fi, good mystery, good thrillers and good romance! Someone PLEASE make a movie out of this amazing book! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviewer: Joe Cantonowski, Bend, Oregon, January 14,2003 To be honest, I am not a reader of science fiction and have never cracked a romance book in my life. I bought a copy of this book ONLY because I have heard of Ruth Marie Davis and her extraordinary work as an advocate for the veterans of this great nation. I had also heard that Ms. Davis dedicated this book to the veterans of all wars and to those who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks on our country. Though I really had no intention of actually reading the book, I am a Vietnam veteran and wanted to support such a kind and patriotic woman. As it happened, my wife read the book and enjoyed it so much, she begged me for a month to read it. Just to make her happy and for no other reason, I sat down and read The Reclamation Project. While I admit to being a slow reader, I couldn't put the book down. I hope that Ms. Davis will continue to turn out such entertaining books, as I think the sci-fi bug has bitten me. This story would make one hellofa great movie! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviewer: realmummylover, Dallas, Texas , January 2, 2003 As a student working toward my doctorate in Egyptology, my mother bought me a copy of this awesome book for Christmas. I can only say that I wish I had thought of and written about this concept first! While reminiscent of Stargate and The Mummy, The Reclamation Project is without a doubt in a league of its own. The ancient Egyptian/Alien theory has always been of exceptional interest to me and the author has created a believable and incredibly well-researched book. The romance element also made for an exceptional read and while the hero/heroine relationship is heterosexual, the inclusion of a well-written gay character was most refreshing. I will certainly pass this book around to my friends and will definitely recommend it highly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviewer: vebennett2000 from Baton Rouge, LA , January 2, 2003 'The Reclamation Project' is quite possibly one of the most fascinating and intriguing books I have ever read! Ms. Davis writes a spellbinding tale that expertly weaves fact, fiction and biblical prophecy into a masterful literary creation. The characters are exceptionally well employed and uniquely described, affording a realism not often seen in the science fiction novels of today...I highly recommend this absolute work of art to anyone who enjoys truly good science fiction! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reviewer: Shari Brennan, SimeGen's Reviews (www.simegen.com) from St. Cloud, MN April 8, 2002 Ruth Marie Davis transports us to the year 2250 in her spectacular science fiction romance novel. Davis explores what would happen if the infamous Egyptian Library of Knowledge were found. What would those secrets revel? Dr. Lindsey Larimer and Dr. Kevin Sanders will discover those secrets and how they could change the world, as they know it. Lindsey is an Egyptologist who discovers the Library along with her famous father. The U.S. and Egypt work together to unlock the secrets of the ancient scrolls. The scrolls reveal that a human key is needed to unlock the pyramids' secrets. Scientists determine that this key is an Egyptian Pharaoh; however, the problem is that Pharaohs have not existed for hundreds of years. As a result, a team at IBAT is given government approval to perform the first human cloning on King Tutankhamun and his wife Ankhesenamun. The hope is that when mature, the clones will be the human keys. Kevin is a member of the IBAT team and Lindsey is brought on board as an Egyptian expert. The two get off to a very rocky start. However, neither can deny the attraction they feel. Once they meet with the scientists working on the Library's scrolls, they are drawn together for a common goal and to explore the feelings they cannot ignore. Lindsey starts to experience dreams that are almost too real involving the growing clones. She is concerned about the intensity of King Tut and perhaps ulterior motives he may have. Ankhesenamun becomes close friends with Lindsey and will shock her with unsettling knowledge. During all this Lindsey and Kevin solidify their relationship and start thinking about starting a family. Everything seems to be going fine until the secrets of the Library and the clones comes to a head. Now Kevin and Lindsey will have to make tough decisions to save their world. Davis' novel will keep you glued to the pages. I will not revel the secret of the Library and the clones here since it will ruin the suspense for you. However, they are wondrous and will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is obvious that this author did the necessary research needed to make this novel a success. You will believe that you are in Egypt with Kevin and Lindsey while on their quest to save the world. I expect great things from this author and eagerly await her next novel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 1, 2002 Reviewer: huntressreviews from SC, United States , March 1, 2002 In the twenty third century, mankind has progressed to the point that human clones are now possible. The first human clones are to be copies of none other than King Tut and his wife, Ankhesenamun, for they are possibly the human key that will unlock the wisdom of the ages, recently uncovered in ancient ruins. In charge of this joint project are Drs. Lindsey Larimer and Kevin Sanders. After an inauspicious beginning, the couple quickly falls in love. Though it seems the project is going well, Lindsey finds herself plagued with dreams that hint they have opened a can of worms that might be too much for the world itself. King Tut is power crazy, and the boy king may get a chance to unlock evil that he has been denied for four millennia. The price of saving humanity from his dangerous schemes comes with a heartbreaking cost. ***** This is an incredible book. I hardly know how to praise it without giving away too much. Mixing profound Christian faith with myths and science so expertly that I cannot stop thinking about the possible truths that could be found herein, I am reminded most strongly of Madeline L'Engle and C.S Lewis' classic works. With a scope that takes you from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of Heaven, this book is not to be missed. Yet, there is no skimping on characterization. As with Nora Roberts, you get to really know the people, and love them, making the ending that more poignant. Be prepared to not be able to put it out of your mind easily. ***** |
