Customer Reviews

Great pace, great detail, makes me want to visit the final continent

I am grateful I found this author and the Riley character. It wasn't easy, but I finally got hold of the full series of books and enjoyed each book I read more than the one before. This book's pace - gripping from its earliest pages - it's detail, character and location added up to an enjoyable read...and may well spur me to tackle the last continent...but only in the "summer" months.

Unique Plot, Good Action

Eternity Base was an excellant action novel, set in the world's harshest and most remot setting: Antarctica. There's a lot of action, and soome unique twists in the plot. The novel is just as good as the author's first novel, Eyes of the Hammer. One thing would have been nice, though: extending the 287-page book to 300+ pages (but I don't pretend that I could write more than 20 pages of garbage so I won't complain). READ IT!

a great read yet with a diet taste

It seems to me, in this book, that the hero, David Riley had become a little weird and remote. Mr. Mayer seems to remove Riley from the center, and tried to make the heroines occupied more pages instead of giving Riley more opportunities to let us keep loving him. I loved what Riley were in all the former D. Riley Books! And would like to give all of them a high 10, but not this one. It was good,but Riley had become a pitiful, self-reject, a bit eccentric, remote, self-denial person and a supporting actor! I have been in a state of trying to contact Mr. Mayer about this Riley's troubled mind. And wish the next Riley in the Z would become the-return-of-the-native hero as before; a reserved, iron-minded, cool, intelligent, yet warm, gentle and considerate person--a self-made,self-enhanced Man,but not the one in the "Eternity Base" as a somewhat absent-minded, negative, most of the time, even not quite a smart person. I have already translated Mr.Mayer's "DRAGON SIM-13" into Chinese and have published it in Taiwan last year. I enjoyed every moment with Riley and Mr. Mayer, and only wish I could translated all of his Riley titled books(not this one)
