Reviews PANGAEA:EDEN'S PLANET

5-Stars
“Exciting and thought-provoking!”
Is there a literary category called “romance of
science”? I hope so, because Tom Johnson has written such a book in his
Pangaea: Eden’s Planet. Adventures in the future are usually called “science
fiction,” but Tom Johnson boomerangs us into the past. That’s where the romance
of science begins.
Who among us would not take the chances of a
lifetime to walk where no man has existed before, to see creatures from a
far-flung past, all in the company of experts in various scientific disciplines
with the exception of their own hearts?
If you want an exciting and thought-provoking
read, this book is for you.

“Something for everyone!”
PANGAEA: EDEN'S PLANET by Tom Johnson offers
something for everyone: a fresh take on a familiar Sci-fi theme which should
thrill Sci-Fi and Fantasy buffs; romantic elements with "swoon"
factor for romance addicts; non-stop adventure for adrenaline junkies;
survivalist theme for preppers; and a shorter length (50k) for those readers
who have limited time to devote to reading but still want the punch of a longer
story.
Have you bought this book yet? You should.
Pangaea is the tale of an ill-fated NASA crew on
their way to Mars by way of the Twilight Zone. (Sorry, had to throw that in!)
The crew soon finds themselves on a prehistoric planet with danger and threats
around every tree, boulder and hill and valley. Our adventurers encounter
monstrous creatures so realistic you might find yourself looking over your
shoulder as well as some pretty scary humanoids. The characters are fun, quirky
and well developed. But don't get complacent. Pangaea is also about surviving
insurmountable odds with limited resources. People get killed.
I don't want to give away the ending which was a
surprise for me . . . and I'm not slow to catch on . . . so go buy the book.
You'll be glad you did!
