I am telling all my friends about this series! I cannot begin to describe how much I enjoyed and appreciated Michael C. Grumley’s excellent Breakthrough book series and Echo was just as good as all the others. The books should be made into a movie or series! I agree with previous reviewers that it is sad to see it end, but as one reviewer mentioned, trust Michael that this is the way it should be. Descriptive words found in other reviews that I agree with are: thought provoking, well written, in...
It has been two years since the last Breakthrough story, but the wait was worth it. Most of the previous characters are back with interesting new twists as they hunt for the Lost Arc and face other challenges. I read it in one sitting. Could not put it down.But we need to know the rest of the story. Please write faster. I am 79 years old. I need more of these books while I can still read.If you have not read the Breakthrough books, Read them. The first was great and they just get better.
I was sooo excited to finally see Book 6 in the fantastic Breakthrough series. This review is more for me than for you, because unless you have the earlier books you won’t follow this one. I’ve read the previous 5 and loved this series so much because, unlike a lot of the dark stuff I read, this is filled with good people and good intentions and hope.In the previous 5 books: computers have been able to develop translations between human (English) and dolphin clicks and whistles, the team has dis...
Michael C. Grumley has taken series readers on quite the adventure, positing much in the realm of science, sci fi, and even evolutionary beliefs. In what started as an attempt to bridge the communicative gap between humans and dolphins, Grumley has used the series to connect on a deeper level with where it all began and what influences may have been present, as well as how human evolution may have included species never thought part of the mix. With the IMIS team still using a cloak of secrecy,
AstoundingAs with all the breakthrough series books I could not put it down. I waited over a year for this one to come out, definitely worth the wait. Now I just don't want the series to end but all good things as they say.Mr. Grumley is simply amazing.
Hands down one of my all-time favorites. I learn something(s) from each book in this series. It has everything! Action, suspense, sci fi and dolphins! Breakthrough has some of the best writing and cohesive sub-plots I have ever read. Michael Grumley is magnificent at spinning tales that you never want to end. I really hope there are more Breakthrough stories.
This is the last book of the Breakthrough series and is beautifully written as are all the others in this series. This one concerns Echoes from the past, the present and future. It illustrates how all living creatures on this planet are connected and how human actions either hurt or help our brothers and sisters in whatever form they are found. The characters are all present from the other books, and by now, we know them very well. They are the good guys doing research for the betterment of mank...
Man Smart, Dolphin Smarter, The Adventure Continues.Sixth book I've read in this exciting series of interspecies communication and interstellar visitors. Grumley has done an excellent job of moving the megastory forward as it careens around the world from talking dolphins to crashed spaceships to international tensions rising as news of startling new discoveries slowly but inevitably leaks out into the world. It's a juggling act that the author handles with aplomb. An enjoyable read with great c...
Wonderful!As with every book in this series I have thoroughly enjoyed this latest instalment, the author weaves a a fabulous main storyline peppered with so many side plots it's a fast moving ride from start to finish.The characters I have grown quite fond of throughout the series all popped up which helps the overall feel of the story from the first book to the present one.The complexity of detail in this authors work always makes me think! Which is a great skill as I like clever books, words t...
Fantastic!What an exciting, thrilling ride this final book was. The entire series was spellbinding. Grumley is a talented author. I loved the characters in these stories both human and animal. The science is extremely interesting as well. Every book in this series was enjoyable. That is quite an accomplishment.
I have read all 6 books of the Breakthrough series the last being Echo. The entire Breakthrough series provides a refreshing science based science fiction read. The science is accurate and believably extended into the realm of science fiction. The character development throughout the series is complete and compelling allowing one to feel that they really know and understand the motivations of the various characters. Michael Grumley, the author, has done an outstanding job of developing vivid ima...
StunningMichael Grumley is hands down one of the best authors out there. This amazing series has been incredible. The characters are almost like family because he has the rare ability to bring the cast to life. I've devoured his books solely on his concise, crisp telling of the story. I know this is supposed to be the end of the series, but there is so much left to be told. The dolphins, Dirk, Sally, and new baby need to have their story expanded. Allison and John, Steve and Neely, Li Na, the ex...
Endings bring new beginningsEcho continues the astounding story of humans learning what other living things have known for ages. Through selfless devotion to their causes, the crew and their protectors are shown to be honest human beings with as many flaws as the rest of us. Author Brimley has a unique grasp and skill illustrating recognizable people in unusual circumstances. He also continues the important idea of deep friendship between diverse species. It's a very timely gift he gives his rea...
