    About this ebook

    FROM THE ICE. . .

    A mammoth, flash frozen in solid ice 10,000 years ago is brought to the surface by a team of scientists. An act of sabotage frees the giant from its icy tomb and reveals the secret held inside.

    OUT OF THE MAMMOTH. . .

    The body of an ancient woman, cloaked in furs, slides out of the mammoth’s belly. But it is not the woman that holds the team’s attention...it is the object she is clutching...a device created by an advanced civilization.

    THE HUNT IS ON. . .

    The device is accidentally activated, summoning forces who seek its destruction. It is the key to mankind’s salvation and freedom from the men behind the curtain, pulling the strings and leading humanity towards destruction.

    PRAISE FOR RAISING THE PAST

    "Jeremy Robinson's novel RAISING THE PAST is a rollicking Arctic adventure that explores the origins of the human species. Written in a solid cinematic style, it starts with the excavation of a frozen mammoth in the wilds of the Canadian tundra and ends with a pitched battle for the future of mankind. A story not to be missed!"
    --James Rollins, bestselling author of ALTER OF EDEN and THE DEVIL COLONY

    "RAISING THE PAST by Jeremy Robinson is a taut thriller that zooms. It's a wonderful mix of prehistoric intrigue, a modern-day love story, and a futuristic conspiracy bound to envelop any reader. Highly recommended."
    --Jon F. Merz, author of the LAWSON VAMPIRE SERIES

    PRAISE FOR ROBINSON

    "Rocket-boosted action, brilliat speculation, and the recreation of a horror out of the mythologic past, all seamlessly blend into a rollercoaster ride of suspense and advcenture."
    --James Rollins, NY Times bestselling author of JAKE RANSOM AND THE SKULL KING'S SHADOW

    "With THRESHOLD, Jeremy Robinson goes pedal to the metal into very dark territory. Fast-paced, action packed and wonderfully creepy! Highly recommended!"
    --Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of ROT & RUIN

    "Jeremy Robinson is the next James Rollins"
    --Chris Kuzneski, NY Times bestselling author of THE SECRET CROWN

    "There's nothing timid about Robinson as he drops his readers off the cliff without a parachute and somehow manages to catch us an inch or two from doom."
    --Jeff Long, NY Times bestselling author of THE DESCENT

    "Jeremy Robinson is a fresh new face in adventure writing and will make a mark in suspense for years to come."
    --David Lynn Golemon, NY Times bestselling author of LEGEND and EVENT

    "Jeremy Robinson is an original and exciting voice."
    --Steve Berry, NY Times bestselling author of THE EMPEROR'S TOMB

      Mostly a sci-fi book, "Raising the Past" deals with the discovery of an ancient alien artifact clutched by a prehistoric women found in the belly of a wooly mammoth. Sounds fantastic? Actually, it a solid story driven by good characters, plenty of action, and sufficient number of plot twists.The book's protagonists, Eve and Eddy, are teamed up again with their usual crew to set upon the raising of the perfectly preserved mammoth. Once the mammoth is pulled from its icy grave, the explorers find that another perfectly preserved body, this time a 40-year old prehistoric woman, has taken shelter inside the hide of the beast. Both bodies appear to be flash frozen and in great shape. It's what the woman is clutching when she falls out of the mammoth that starts the plot into another direction. The device she's holding is certainly not of this world, nor her time period. Our intrepid explorers soon find that the device is more than likely something left behind by ancient aliens.Robinson does a nice job pulling all of the plot lines together into a story that rumbles along like the SnoCats driven by the crew. I think fans of James Rollins and Matthew Reilly will find "Raising the Past" much to their liking.

      A team digs up a well-preserved Mammoth, inside it's belly, they find a ancient woman's body holding something unusual in her arms. This book has a lot of action and some surprising unexpected twists. The story sucks you in until the very last page. A very good read. My Favorite Quote: "But when I look into your eyes, I'm convinced of the alternative. Evil isn't everyhere. We just need to choose what's good."
    • 5/5
      I really liked this book. It caught my attention right from the beginning with the mammoth being found and the woman found inside the mammoth holding a metallic object. I found it hard to put down.
    • 5/5
      This was a book worth propping the eyelids open to finish! Three-dimensional characters, truly imaginative and intriguing aliens, good use of science and speculative tech; should attract fans of Steve Alten, Preston/Child, Crichton, Greg Bear.
