Format:Taschenbuch
Im allgemeinen erinnert das Buch sehr an die MEG-Reihe von Steve Alten. Hier wird lediglich ein biblischer Hintergrund für eine absolute Kapitalismuskritik verschleudert.
Im allgemeinen kann man sich das Buch nach der ersten Hälfte getrost sparen, denn ab da ist das Ende vollkommen entmystifiziert und vorhersehbar.
Dieses Werk hat mir ein weitergehendes Interesse an dem Autor verleidet.

Needed more bite
13. März 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I have two problems with this book, and even suprising to myself, the whole god thing isn't one of them. That was fine to me, no my problem first was Kronos itself. I bought this book and wanted a monster, something that was sinking boats, eating people, destroying coastal towns, and generally causing chaos in the seas. I wanted the Leviathon, instead I got a 150 foot dolphin that chased herring, and nothing else. When I purchase a book with a giant sea monster on the cover, I want a sea monster with bite, and more than one kill under its belt. No all it does is eat fish. The main character, he kils a lot of people, most barehanded actually, but if I wanted a spy story I would have bought one, no I wanted a sea mosnter, disappointing.
Second is the uh, love story, which is not unique to Mr. Robinson. I've read a lot of these giant monster books and they all seem to suffer from the same poorly writen, poorly executed, uncomfortable, and just down right un-plausable romances. I'm sick of reading about people's ex-wives, girl friends, long lost loves, whatever in a book about a giant killer thing. It adds nothing to the story and doesn't make the characters human, it makes them characters in soap operas, and once again if I wanted a soap opera I would watch it, I wanted a monster. If your looking for a giant killer monster that causes some serious damage I have to say look somewhere else, I'm not joking all Kronos does is chase Herring.

Don't bother
12. Mai 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Not a monster story, and totally unbelievable. Very little suspense and the story is very predictable. I wanted terror, and I got a retelling of "Jonah and the Whale". Also the depictions of character emotions are forced, and full of clichés. Not for sea monster enthusiasts, not for thriller enthusiasts, and not for book enthusiast either.

Jeremy Robinson delivers again!
21. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Jeremy Robinson delivers again! Kronos is another positively addictive page-turner. Atticus young is a former Navy SEAL trying to come to grips with the death of his wive and increasing disconnect from his teenage daughter, Giona. On a scuba diving trip, Giona is swallowed by a massive, unknown beast of the sea. The only thing keeping Atticus alive is his desire to hunt the creature that took his daughter. Into his life walks Trevor Manfred, a ruthless multi-millionaire who wants the beast as a hunting trophy.
The story moves forward at Robinson's typical fast pace. Manfred is a shady character, and there are tensions between Atticus and one of Manfred's primary henchmen. The tension is ratcheted up when Atticus's former military colleague Andrea, now an officer in the Coast Guard, enters the picture. The blend of action and mystery never relents. The publisher should put a warning label on the cove: Do not open this book unless you have time to read the entire thing. A few scenes feel either a bit forced or contrived, such as an early scene in which Atticus roughs up some street toughs who mess with his his daughter, but does it in such a way that the reader is apparently supposed to conclude that he is a tough guy, but not a "bad" guy, though he could be if he wanted to. Atticus's conversation with his mother after Giona's loss is a bit cliche, as is much of the Manfred story line. The plot is engaging enough that it more than outweighs these areas of relative weakness.
In many ways, this book is reminiscent of the early works of James Rollins, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, and Steve Alten. There is a satisfying mix of mystery, monsters, and action. Action-Adventure fans who have not yet discovered Robinson would do well to make this their first exposure to one of the most talented writers in the genre. Buy your copy of Kronos today!
