Review:
The book starts as a normal fiction book. A situation is set up with a scientist who wants to study the torah. A part of Antarctica is claimed by Israel and the scientist is asked to join an expedition there. On Antarctica, the story changes from fiction to far-fetched science fiction (with a lot of religious fiction, pointing back at the torah). A nice touch is that the book points back at the current (political) situation in Israel. A nice read, but the change from what I would call 'normal fiction' to 'farfetched science fiction' within about 2 pages makes it a bit weird to read.

Some books are so poorly written that you think *anyone* could have produced an improved tome. Generally, though, these idle thoughts are dismissed by recognition of the fact that writing a book is hard work. Why put in all that time and effort just to prove you could surpass what you are reading? Every once in a while, though, you come across a book that is *so* rotten you feel that the exertion might be justified if it meant that volumes like it didn't get published. You'd be doing the world a favour. It is difficult to even begin to note the failings of the writing. Characterization, of both individuals and whol... Rest of this review on the detail page
