If my dad had become President of the Czech Republic, I am sure there would have been lots of LONG radio and television addresses to the nation airing his opinions. I don't understand how communism managed to last as long as it did, because all of the Czechs, Poles, Russians, Croatians, Ukrainians, and other Slavic people I have met over the years are so opinionated, and rarely restrained their comments about anything or anyone. “I could not help but chuckle when I read the story about how President Zeman had ‘comments’ about the candidates from all parties.

The Plot: The Chinese have discovered a great treasure in copper mines that could be the key to tourism: dragons. This is my fourth Matthew Reilly book, I was intrigued by the premise and a rare stand alone book, this is my first book not part of Scarecrow book series. Reilly who is known for his action delivers a pulse pounding narrative that seems to never let up. What Reilly does really well is have detailed maps, that constantly reminds the reader where they are in relationship to others. Reilly does not put too much science in his science fiction unlike Michael Crichton does, leaving the story not as believable as Jurassic Park. Where the novel separates it self from Jurassic Park is 300 pages of white knuckle action that does not let up until the end. The novel is self aware and there is references to Jurassic Park throughout. The Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly is Jurassic Park with dragons. This book fits right in with the rest of the King series.

“Seriously? This comes with a warning?” Charlie yelled towards Beth, who only nodded happily. Vamp, according to the announcer, was sure to draw blood and cause quite a disturbance as he warned those with small children. There were fierce names, too, that had her wondering. She and others laughed aloud as one was called “Pudding” and another was “Gus”. The announcer rattled off names of what must be cowboys, and what must be their bull’s names, too. Several men swaggered out from the gate, raising their hands in salute. Just then, the clowns began to chase the horses back off of the arena floor. While Charlie had never been to a rodeo before, she found herself itching to catch one as a souvenir. A few shirts were shot into the crowd with an air gun. Several bumped into horses or pretended to tip their own hats, only to have confetti sprinkle to the ground. They were diving in and out of hollowed barrels, left and right. Rodeo clowns poured out of an entry just opposite where they sat, and she watched as their follies caused several to laugh, including herself. The cowboys tipped their hats charismatically towards the crowd and waved them, causing the flurry of noise to increase to an amazing roar that was sure to deafen them all. She had always assumed rodeos were a man’s sport – but the same could be said for turning wrenches, too. Several men and a few women, this shocked her. They circled the dirt floor easily, bouncing up and down in their saddles. Nodding, she stared as a stream of others followed out on horseback. |
