Rollins' fictional tale spans the world with seat-edge action. There's so much going on, that I need to reread with more attention to the individual personalities. Character development Rollins-style is done in third person "she did that" and "he looked haggard" prose. I don't think I really knew the main characters deep down, but the last chapter rolled around despite my lack, and certain elements stuck.
As I read the epilogue for an explanation of sites and historical background, I thought it would have been better for me to have read that first. But, a re-read of the whole book will work, too.
I'm recommending The Eye of God for science minded readers, but save time in your schedule for a second pass.

Is this like an Indiana Jones novel? How scary is it?
Tell the story (or a little bit about it)...It's hard to figure out the point of the story without more to go on. Does it have any jargon?
I read this novel during my lunch break, and I think you missed the whole aspect of the time warp. When you re-read it, post an update about the time warp. Haha. All of a sudden, I discovered my lunch break took me nine hours. Now, there's a twelve martini time warp.
This was a New York Times best seller in the Apocalyptic Science category. You may not have given it sufficient credit.
This is not a book review. It's a force field diagram of the emotions you felt when you read the novel. I'm proud of it. I invite you to read my work again and again. There's only so much I could put in, but you seem to care for the details. Thanks.
