Summer Reading #3

“passing the bulkhead felt like crossing the threshold into hell. Black smoke swirled around him so dark and thick at times all he could see of Marchetti was the beacon on his respirator. Waves of heat baked him through the Nomex suit, and his eyes stung from the smoke seeping beneath the seal of the mask.”

Summer Reading #2

I am supposed to discuss the character’s “complexity‘, what they want/desire, but I couldn’t come up with a way to turn this into a conversation-like telling of their wants/desires, so I’m just going to list them out. Kurt Austin wants to avenge the deaths of the NUMA crew, the same goes for Joe Zavala, Jinn Kahlif wants to reverse the oceanic movements, therefore changing which continents have monsoons or horrible droughts. And as for themes that are beginning to appear, the only one I can think of, is people turning out to be evil, BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT! In my previous post, I had predicted that one of the main or supporting characters would turn out to be evil, and I was right! I feel so proud of myself, because not only did in happen once, with one of the main supporting characters who was working directly with Kurt and Joe; it happened TWICE, that’s right, twice. Let’s just take a moments to look at my prediction skills, I awesome, maybe I’m psychic; my vanity aside, to where I have read, it also happened with the assistant of an extremely rich guy who tried to kill Kurt, Austin, The evil chicks name whose name I have forgotten and can’t look up because I lost my book a few days ago. This is a bad post for me because I had trouble with all of the topics I was supposed to discus, and I can’t even begin to understand the last one, so that’s all for now folks.

Summer Reading

For my summer reading, I decided to read The Storm by Clive Cussler, the story doesn’t seem to have a definite setting, because it focuses attention on different people like every chapter. Now, those people are; Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, jinn Kahlif(the bad guy) Members of N.U.M.A., which stands for the National Underwater and Marine Agency. The reason for them constantly traveling is that they were researching into the disappearance of a NUMA boat and its crew, who were actually killed by tiny nano-bots in the Indian Ocean. I myself haven’t read very far into it yet, but it already seems like a great book. I honestly hope that one of them turns evil, or one of the people they're working with turns out to be evil, I want some drama in this book, more than there is already, so my prediction is that one of the main or supporting characters turns out to be either working with the bad guy or just evil. I forgot to mention that this book is actually one book in the Kurt Austin Adventures series by Cussler, there are several more, such as Devil’s Gate and Lost city that I’m honestly interested in reading.
