A Good Story Marred By Atrocious Writing
I didn't go into this book blind. I'd read The Lure and knew Mr. Napier's writing style was atrocious. I also said I'd be glad to read another of his books. Despite the lack of writing discipline, he can still weave a good story, and this one was no exception. I heard similar theories about igniting the atmosphere back in the 60's, and this falls right in line with that paranoid possibility. ...

Nemesis (Bill Napier)
I enjoyed Napier's other novel, The Lure, much more than this work. While i enjoy astronomy and other scientific pursuits, the conversations between the characters get a bit heady at times. Good character development and an ending with a few twists do result in an enjoyable book, but it was very similar in overarching plot devices to his other works, so it becomes a bit easy to figure out what ...

Page Turner!
This is my first book written by Mr. Napier, and itt definately won't be the last! This was billed by reviewers to be another DaVinci Code; thank goodness it's not! Shattered Icon is realistic in his portrayal of the Catholic Church-both Latin and Eastern Rites. His fictional Icon could indeed be real, waiting to be found. Be prepared to be drawn into a story within the main story-line; this ...

Great summer read.
I just finished The Lure. It was full of philosophical and ethical debates, but there was enough action to keep me reading. I loved the premise and liked the characters a lot. I can't wait to dive into his other books.

Again, excellent
I am reading Dr. Napier's books in a weird order. Revealation first, then Shattered Icon then Nemesis. Nemesis is exceedingly entertaining not to mention very very accurate. From the point of view of both a Sci-fi/Mystery reader as well as a person with a strong science background, it is a perfect book to suck away a week of evenings!!! srl

One of the Important Works
Two British astronomers, Victor Clube and Bill Napier, wrote an intriguing work entitled "The Cosmic Serpent," which addressed the origins of the comets, historical impacts, and mythology equals history of comets. With roughly 280 pages and eleven chapters (including Epilogue), this book is quite a fascinating read. The first part of the book deals with an interesting perspective of our galaxy ...

A Good Historical and Modern Thriller Novel
I have procrastinated in getting this latest Bill Napier's novel for nine months, and eventually took a gamble buying one. The same novel was also titled as Splintered Icon. For fans of The Da Vinci code: do not expect something identical to Dan Brown's novel. This novel flips back and forth between current day and 200+ years ago. For the historical fiction part, I give this novel a ...

Of Cosmic Importance!
Victor Clube's book, "The Cosmic Winter," is a book of inestimable importance to everyone on this planet. I strongly urge readers to write to the publisher and request a new printing since it is obvious that few people can afford the high prices for the few copies left in circulation. It is also obvious that those people who do have copies, aren't letting them out of their hands which should ...
