Customer Reviews

Action oriented, splendidly written, highly entertaining.

Ride To Glory is a unique examination of the issues involved in the Darwinian hypothesis about the origins of mankind cast in the form of a novel. Action oriented, splendidly written, thoroughly entertaining (and more than a little educational), Ride To Glory is highly recommended reading for anyone on either side of the Creationism vs. Evolution issue.

A Wild Ride to Glory

Like a serpentine road, Road to Glory twists and turns to the last page. It's a book you can't put down--a book you won't want to put down until the end.The author cleverly recasts the Scopes trial with Darwinian evolution in the dock. More than a novel, the work is a compendium of scientific challenges (all well referenced) to Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Creationists will cheer the star witness. Evolutionists, however, will take solace in the summary reflections of the main character which is the philosophical apex of the book.A dry scientific tome, it is not. It is a lively romance, an intriguing mystery, and a revealing glimpse at the nuanced life of academic philanthropy. Ride to Glory is a wild ride by any standard.
