Science Fiction -- 5 stars
Breakthrough Series - Book 1
A U.S. nuclear sub is forced to abort its mission for unexplained reasons. The polar ice shelf is crumbling. Marine scientists are on the brink of an amazing discovery. Three stories that all connect over one alien artifact. This isn't one of those lost-on-a-distant-planet or dying-spaceship science fiction stories. It's more Crichton than Asimov. A fast, easy read with a thought provoking premise. I love these kinds of books for the "what if" factor they invoke. It's fluff with consequences. The characters are pretty much good vs. evil, but the story isn't really about them. I'll be reading the second book in the series, and hoping it lives up to a great start.
