Let’s give it 3.5* and call it even!Working off a strong recommendation by a dear friend, I chose to venture into the world of Michael C. Grumley and this series. Having sped through the prequel short story, I was intrigued to see how it would all come together. It’s hard to slot this book into a specific genre, as it is part science fiction, part action, and even part biological. However one might label it, Grumley did well in its delivery and has me wanting to know a little more. Alison Shaw h...
Breakthrough by Michael C. Grumley is a good sci-fi book where you can cheer for the dolphins, talk with the dolphins, meet with aliens, and hate on the corrupt government (esp. the idiot one that kept calling the dolphins fish!). I will certainly follow this series. The book is narrated by Scott Brick and he did a fabulous job! Loved the plot, characters, dolphins, and the aliens!
Very enjoyable reading! Thought provoking science fiction that explores an amazing breakthrough in cross species communication. It turns out that dolphins have an developed language and culture. It boggles the mind to think how we could actually communicate with language to another specie. I think the story does a great job introducing this concept.But there is more to this story. Another discover is made that leads to dangerous consequences for the entire planet. I'll not say more, but the plot...
I love the idea of figuring out a way to talk with dolphins and then learning from them. Breakthrough is a fast-paced, action-oriented story peppered with interesting science details and fun science fiction. At first, there are so many characters that it's difficult to keep them straight, but then the story takes over and that doesn’t matter anymore. A few main characters do surface including strong, relatable female researchers who take on challenges while remaining human. The dolphins also bec...
I downloaded this to my Kindle from the lender's library before a trip, not expecting much. I began reading after a flight delay, and throughout my 19 hours of travel, could barely put this book down.Grumley explains complex ideas and workings in a way that anyone can understand. The story of the relationships that can develop between humans and other mammals at times brought me to tears. There were unexpected plot twists that kept me intrigued. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for an i...
This is the beginning of the six-book Breakthrough series. And I promise that if you can make it to chapter six of the first book while I set things up, you will be in for the ride of your life.Michael C. Grumley
What can happen when science, nature, survival and abject terror collide with a taut and high-powered science fiction tale? Will it be the end of the world? Michael C. Grumley’s BREAKTHROUGH combines, fascinating fictional science, an alien visitation, an out-of-control governmental bureaucrat and a seemingly unavoidable end of the world scenario to give us a start to finish science fiction tale that is a mind-boggling and magnetic read for those of us who enjoy the “what-if” scenarios.One scien...
I love sci-fi, but I haven't read it for a long time. I read mostly books in my genre that I write in crime/thrillers. But this book had 8,000 reviews, as you may have guessed I am a sucker for a book with a lot of reviews.This book is really good.Yes, there are some aliens, but they don't seem unbelievable. (You'll see.) Yes, the world gets saved. But it is just a solid story with a very unique element.Imagine we could really talk to Dolphins, carry on deep conversations with them. Not too many...
This is a review of the audible version. The narrator did an excellent job with the pacing and voicing.There were lots of great parts to this plot. I loved all the action scenes. I enjoyed the discovery scenes with the dolphins and the mystery under the sea. The situation at the Antarctic was mesmerising.Unfortunately, I can't say I loved all of it. (view spoiler)[ These were the most unbelievable (as in "not" believable) aliens I've ever read about. They called themselves human and spoke Englis...
Gave up at 87%4.4 out of 5? Really? SPOILERS AHEAD: Admitedly I don't read a lot of sci fi, but there were just too many things that rang so untrue. I was willing to go with being able to communicate with dolphins, but throw in aliens, career naval officers who suddenly decide command is wrong so they all go rogue and top it off with a secretary of defense who uses a nuclear weapon without telling the president (what happened to the president having the nuclear codes?)... well, that was at 87% a...
