Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I think I'm done with A.G. Riddle... This is the second book of his that I've read (The Atlantis Gene was the first). I was really looking forward to this book. The synopsis grabbed me but the story itself quickly lost me. The premise of a plane crashing down onto a world very different from the one it took off from got my attention. However, too many other interfering factors detracted from an otherwise good premise. The main character, NIck Stone, was a just too-good-to-be-true, take charge hero. He was way too much of a cliche. The leading female character, Harper, was depicted as being wishy-washy and incapable of making a decision who immediately swoons over Nick.The lesser characters were more of the same. It was exacerbated by the male narrator of the audiobook, who seemed to going for a sauve, "main in control of his surroundings", but really only achieved more of a William Shatner/Captain Kirk effect. The female narrator, by contrast, was excellent. None of the story's developments interested me any. One side of the major conflict, once it was revealed, was just silly. It was the final straw.
