Great Book

I really liked this book, The "Chess Team" is a great cast of characters and I can't wait for a new Jeremy Robinson book with these characters in it. The action was fast paced . I myself am into Military fiction and this was one of the good ones, then you throw in the Greek mythology, sci-fi topics, "advanced weaponry" and its Great. If you like Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Tom Clancy, or James Rollins you need to add Jeremy Robinson to your list.

Pulse Pounding Page Peeling Publication

If you are looking for a book that will give you heart palpitations and reads with the pace and energy of an edge of your seat video game, Jeremy Robinson's Pulse is the book for you. Simply put, it is a good time read. An evil billionaire sets out to discover the key to immortality and manages to unleash the wrath of the mythical beast, Hydra. A Delta Force team of soldiers is called in to fight various badies that include humans who can regenerate body parts thanks to their modified DNA that includes Hydra juice. Gun battles, hand to hand combat, monster mauling, it's all here. I can't recommend this book enough. I've read and enjoyed a number of Robinson's novels and I think this is his best. He is firing on all cylinders here, providing a page turner to the nth degree. If you combined the DNA from some of the best authors in this genre (Rollins, Crichton, Reilly, etc.) and created some mad scientist concoction, you would end up with Jeremy Robinson clacking away on his computer keyboard churning out action-packed prose. Pulse is the perfect summer read.

PULSE POUNDING!

Hold on to your seats for the absolute thrill ride that is Jeremy Robinson's PULSE. Special op's...genetics gone awry...mythological creatures... Pure action from start to finish. This is a rapid read that you will not want to put down! Jeremy Robinson introduces the reader to the Chess Team...and I cannot wait for the next telling of their adventures! Reading PULSE is like watching a summer movie blockbuster - with all the twists, turns, and fun that one would expect from such a film. And with the price of going to the movies these days, the cost of the book provides a much greater return on investment!

Pulse by Jeremy Robinson - Mini Review

Pulse (A Chess Team Adventure) by Jeremy Robinson Take what you love from Indiana Jones, throw that through a James Rollins/Matthew Reilly grinder and then add a sprinkling of equal parts Michael Crichton and a wee bit of mythological beasts and what you'd get is Jeremy Robinson's Pulse - a highly entertaining, action packed novel! I really enjoyed this quick read. You've got your super elite military team, The Chess Team. You've got your super evil villain doing super evil things, manipulating good people to do the aforementioned super evil things for him. And then you've got your super huge beast straight out of Greek Mythology. You've got a lot and you're going to have a lot of fun with it. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys any of the aforementioned authors.

If Pulse is any indication, I can hardly wait for the Chess Team's next adventure

Like many Jeremy Robinson fans, I was introduced to his writing through his first, self-published time traveling novel, 'The Didymus Contingency' and LOVED it. The idea of creating an action/adventure tale set around time travel that also happens to feature the Son of God?? Who could have conceived the success that followed? I have known that 'Pulse' has been in the works for quite some time now, and after finishing 'Kronos' I was really chompin' at the bit for this one. Guess what? Jeremy Robinson does NOT disappoint. With each successive story you literally can SEE the improvements happening to his immense storytelling creativity and talent...and they are on FULL display here, I assure you. Who could map out even a semi-believable story featuring Greek Mythology and modern genetics and weave them together in such a way that doesn't make it sound silly? I'll tell you who: Jeremy Robinson. While I am NOT a geneticist, the obvious research that went into this novel is quite apparent and I am sure someone who knows far more than I do about the possibility of genetic organ regeneration can spot (if any) some flaws--but I certainly couldn't. It was hard to say where actual technology left off and wild imagination began in some places. Oh, and the action?? Well 'Pulse' has been compared to Matthew Reilly's books as of late, and although I don't believe Jeremy came too close to the all-out adrenaline/steroid rush of Reilly, he certainly comes within throwing distance...and for someone like me, that is really great news. Action, suspense and a great deal of 'What If' seems to play a central role here in 'Pulse'...in fact, if I were to compare this to anything else available, I'd say it's a cross between X-Files, Indiana Jones and Rainbow Six. I simply LOVED 'Pulse' from the first page and for those out there looking for the next Action King to spend some time with, you would be making a smart move to get to know Jeremy Robinson NOW--oh yeah, and go pick up his earlier stuff, too...you won't be wasting a single penny. Kudos to Jeremy...now, enough playing around--get back to work on that sequel!!
