Customer Reviews

A new favorite.

This book along with the rest of the series is one of my favorites reads this year. There are many twists and turns in the story and when I had to put the book down, I could not wait to pick it up again. Mr. Hirts' imagination and description of the pre-flood world is realistic and fantastic at the same time. I highly recommend this book.

A very short review, but I did enjoy this book.

As both an author and reader of fiction, I was impressed with (Flight to Eden). The characters seemed real and the story line was believable. I guess I have always enjoyed a book that could hold my attention and make me think at the same time. I'm sorry that I do not have the time to write a longer and more detailed review so simply stated - I recommend this book. Tommy Taylor

Immediately captured.

I was immediately captured and drawn into this story. Mr. Hirt has a wonderful writing style that keeps you interested. And the story is full of a wide array of events, wonderous lands, interesting characters, and a solid story line. You will enjoy this one and the other two in the trilogy I am sure.

Had to wait my turn to read this one

I brought this book home, figuring I'd be able to dive into it right away. Right. My husband and my son tussled for it as soon as I placed it on the kitchen counter. When I was finally able to read Flight to Eden, I enjoyed it thoroughly! I've researched Genesis minutely for my own work, so I was pleased that the plot provided so many twists and turns and such action, balanced with a sense of wonder--yet again--at the world as it might have been before the Great Flood. Settle in for a great read!

4.75 stars! A Pre-flood Fantasy novel!

First off, about the only thing that could detract from the book are a few more noticeable typos than I expected, but not so many that it would keep you from reading this excellent, pre-flood fantasy novel. The characters are strong and varied. The technologies the author invents for the pre-flood world are imaginative and plausible. The variety of animals and the way some are domesticated was an interesting part of the story, as well as the use of certain plants for food and fuel. The way the spiritual realm and the physical were intertwined and effected one another was well done and drove the story. There were some recognizable Biblical characters in the story, which only added to its depth. The portrayal of the Nephilim was well done and reflected a Biblical truth behind the flood that many people know nothing about or gloss over. The whole layout of the story is reminiscent of a classical fantasy adventure where the characters struggle to achieve a particular mission or fulfil a particular quest. I highly recommend this book and I will be on the lookout for book two in the Cradleland Chronicles.
