Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated All Fall Down (Supervolcano, #2) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Supervolcano: All Fall Down] picked up right where [Eruption] left off. In the midst of this disaster the way [Turtledove] portrays his characters not as hero's out to save the world but as humans with all their faults makes the story more believable. It even has a serial killer mystery twist within the plot.
I definitely prefer my science fiction based on real science and not super natural. That is what [Turtledove] has produced so far with the two books from the [Supervolcano] series. I like my fantasy with a good does of reality in most cases.
Awix (3310 KP) rated Hunting Monsters: Cryptozoology and the Reality Behind the Myths in Books
Mar 10, 2020
That said, the book does include a fairly comprehensive overview of the big-name cryptids (bigfoot, Nessie, sea monsters, etc), although as book is written from a scientific perspective the conclusions should come as no great surprise. Accessibly readable and notably positive; makes a coherent case that cryptozoology as a discipline has genuine scientific value even if all the best-known topics of it are bunkum.
