The Anomaly by Michael Rutger

The Anomaly

by Michael Rutger

"If Indiana Jones lived in the X-Files era, he might bear at least a passing resemblance to Nolan Moore -- a rogue archaeologist hosting a web series derisively dismissed by the "real" experts, but beloved of conspiracy theorists. Nolan sets out to retrace the steps of an explorer from 1909 who claimed to have discovered a mysterious cavern high up in the ancient rock of the Grand Canyon. And, for once, he may have actually found what he seeks. Then the trip takes a nasty turn, and the cave begins turning against them in mysterious ways. Nolan's story becomes one of survival against seemingly impossible odds. The only way out is to answer a series of intriguing questions: What is this strange cave? How has it remained hidden for so long? And what secret does it conceal that made its last visitors attempt to seal it forever?"--

At first I didn't like this book at all, in fact, I hated it. But after 30% it got kinda interesting. It even reminded me of one of my favorite books of all time - "The Ruins". But even that wasn't enough to make me give this book a higher rating. I don't know why. Maybe it's the fact that I don't remember a single character, or that I was very confused by the whole mystery element. I really wish I liked it more, but it is what it is. I honestly don't know if I'm going to continue with the series, I'm not rushing to pick up the next book. Time will tell.
