A New York Times bestselling author turns actor Leonard Nimoy's popular comic book series, The Primortals, into a smashing new novel. Many eons ago, an alien race removed the most promising indigenous... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Compared to the Primortals comics from the Teknophage universe, this is quite a good book. Granted Primaster is not mentioned much, but the Primortals is mainly about everyone's favorite conquest-seeking powerhouse pterodactyl, Zeerus. In both the comics and this book, his character and personality are captured perfectly. He may not like us humans much, but he has a lot of human fans. The book itself is very well-written and the best parts would have to be where we see things from Zeerus' point of view, especially how he views the universe, religion, morals, principles, etc. It always made me ask, "Just what does a super-intelligent pterodactyl think of these things?" If you're a fan of the comic book series, you might want to get this one.
not half bad

But I need more. I picked up the book whilest at the library one night, attracted to it mainly by its cover. I started to read it that very night, got hooked on it, and spent just about every free moment I had, which isn't a lot for a high school student sometimes, reading the book. I was really getting into it, but also noticed the fact that I seemed to be far from a conclusion as I saw the pages before the ending growing fewer and fewer. The book itself is excellent, and will be even better in a sequel, assuming there is one, and I'm really hoping for one. So while the book was excellent, the ending was not the greatest all considered.
A review from the 'target audience'...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I got the book about a week ago, and was pleased at such an easy read.. and I got it for 4.97, hardcover at that. It was WELL worth my money. I am, for the interested, a 16 year old male. And like many have said, it reads like a comic.. which is what it originally was. I'm an alien buff, and astrology guy, and a computer geek... this book was me. Some people will not like, but then again some people didn't like 'The Hobbit'. In my opinion, if you dig comic plots that run high on the 'techno-modern' side (X-Men, Spawn, etc.), are into aliens, and want a book you can put away in a week easy... this is it. I eagerly await a sequel.
Better Make a sequal

Its like watching a T.V. Show were there are 10 minutes left and you know everything is not going to be finished by then So you know you'll have to wait untill next week to see what happens, but in this cause there is no next week, I doubt a sequal will come out before 2000. Good book though.
A wonderful book, a must-read!

This book explores not only our possible future, but our collective past as well. Never before have I read a book where past, present and future have been tied together so well!
