Out of the Sun: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Mathematical puzzle.
Review: Harry Barnett, a bit of a down and outer,is shocked on two counts.The first is to discover that he has a son from a brief fling, many years ago and secondly to be told that his son, David, is lying in a diabetic coma. David is a brilliant mathematician, employed by a rather secretive forecasting institute who previously employed several other scientists who died in mysterious circumstances.It's a good, imaginative plot and, given that I'm mathematically challenged, one that I had to force myself to understand. Poor Harry is a bit of a sad sack so things don't magically solve themselves for him as for other literary heros, but it's a story which will hold your attention until the end.

Summary: Excellent book. Would highly recommend it.
Review: I discovered Robert Goddard's books on my last visit to Melbourne, Australia. I have read all that I could find. This book has been the best of the lot. Having read Into The Blue, it was interesting to follow Harry's life further. Robert Goddard develops the story in a way that you can hardly put the book down as you follow the story line down very twisted paths. I would recommend this book very highly.

Summary: The one book of intruiging suspense you MUST read.
Review: This single book by Robert Goddard was by far the best book i've read all year. I read it on a trip I took to South Carolina (for those of you looking for a good travel book) and finished the whole thing in two days. I just could NOT put it down...the twists in plot so unexpected, I found myself laughing out loud, or not being able to read for the tears in my eyes. I'm not often a passionate reader, but every chapter he gave brought me closer to the story and characters than any author had ever done before. Don't be afraid to dive into this one-- you'll end up satisfied in the end...but wanting more just to sleep at night. I'd previously never heard of Robert-- but Kudos to the designer of the cover--it's how I pick my travel books. (and just for us picky ones, the type font is easily read, and attractive, the paper is well-grained, and the whole book is sturdy, as a travel book should be).

Go for this one-- it's wonderful, all around.
