Story
It is a stark and inhospitable place, where the landscape itself poses a challenge to survival, yet its strange, silent beauty has long fascinated scientists and adventurers. Now Antarctica faces an uncertain future. The international treaty which protects the continent is about to dissolve, clearing the way for Antarctica’s resources to be plundered, its eerie beauty to be savaged. As politicians wrangle over its fate, major corporations begin probing for its hidden riches.

Story
It is the 14th century, and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur - the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe's population was destroyed. But what if the plague had killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would the world have changed? This is a look at the history that could have been - a history that stretches across centuries, a history that sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, a history that spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation.

Story
Perhaps it wasn't from our time, perhaps it wasn't even from our universe, but the arrival of the 300-kilometer long stone was the answer to humanity's desperate plea to end the threat of nuclear war. Inside the deep recesses of the stone lies Thistledown: the remnants of a human society, versed in English, Russian and Chinese. The artifacts of this familiar people foretell a great Death caused by the ravages of war, but the government and scientists are unable to decide how to use this knowledge.

Story
Fetter was raised to kill, honed as a knife to cut down his sainted father. This gave him plenty to talk about in therapy. He walked among invisible powers: devils and anti-gods that mock the mortal form. He learned a lethal catechism, lost his shadow, and gained a habit for secrecy. After a blood-soaked childhood, Fetter escaped his rural hometown for the big city, and fell into a broader world where divine destinies are a dime a dozen.

Story
Everyone knew the legend of Christopher Sim. Fighter. Leader. An interstellar hero with a rare talent for war, Sim changed mankind's history forever when he forged a ragtag group of misfits into the weapon that broke the back of the alien Ashiyyur. But now, Alex Benedict has found a startling bit of information, long buried in an ancient computer file. If it is true, then Christopher Sim was a fraud.
Publisher's Summary
On the North Pole of Pluto there stands an enigma: a huge circle of standing blocks of ice, built on the pattern of Earth's Stonehenge - but 10 times the size, standing alone at the farthest reaches of the Solar System. What is it? Who came there to build it?
The secret lies, perhaps, in the chaotic decades of the Martian Revolution, in the lost memories of those who have lived for centuries.

Worth it in the end
As a big fan of sci fi this book was interesting enough just to have been written in 1984- Cold War times, and the hints at this throughout make for insight into those times.
The narrator does change through the book but because it’s in three distinct parts in different times by different characters, contrary to another recent review. It stands up against much of what has been written since despite the lack of computer tech back then giving clues to our futures . It gets slow in the middle but having finished it now I can say it was well worth it - and I’m not afraid to walk away from a bad book. Keeps you guessing that’s for sure

Interesting premise
A tale in 3 parts. Like the stories of Stonehenge in the UK, there are a number of theories about it but no real answers. This book left me a little frustrated with the different theories being presented by the author. I wouldn’t say that I disliked the book but it just didn’t ring my bell. A good book but not a great one in my opinion, 3 stars

OMG the most tedious book ever
Have loved other books by this author but this was just too much blah blah blah and not enough action. And they changed narrators for the same character half way through, which completely changed the nature of this character as the voices were so different in the way they emphasized different words.
Just longed for it to be over after the first hour!
