Breakthrough (The Breakthrough, #1)

by Michael C. Grumley

One of the greatest breakthroughs in human history.
A secret that was never supposed to be found.
A crisis that cannot be stopped.

Deep in the Caribbean Sea, a small group of marine biologists are quietly on the verge of making history. Alison Shaw and her team are preparing to translate the first two-way conversation with the planet's second smartest species.

But the team discovers much more from their dolphins than they ever expected when a secret object is revealed on the ocean floor - one that was never supposed to be found. Alison must quickly piece together a dangerous puzzle, and the most frightening piece is located in the depths of Antarctica.

Now time is running out... and our understanding of the world is about to change forever.

This is a book that my husband recommend i read so it sat on my shelf for a while and finally a window opened and i figured i give it a few pages.  Well i never looked back this is the perfect sci-fi novel for me you have talking dolphins, mysterious aliens, and not a whole lot of info bogging it all down.  It moves along at nice stead clip i finished the book in a short few days.  I was worried at one point that i basically told hubby they kill the dolphins i am done but he assured me all would be well in a creepy star trek moment of redemption it was all right.   I am eager to read the next book and am thankfully i took a chance on this novel.

Starts Slow and Easy. Then WOW. The build in this book starts as a low simmer. You meet up with a man getting out of the ocean onto his boat in the Caymans. You meet a research team in Antarctica. You meet another research team trying to learn how to talk to dolphins in Miami. ... And then all of this begins coming together. When it does... sci-fi done with some things that seem reminiscent of things, and other things I've never seen. It was a great combination and produced a great story.
