Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. "Gyre," by Jessica Gunn, has a very unique premise. Mixing historic Atlantis with time travel, super charged soldiers with multiple magical abilities and a nice dash of romance, this book has it all. From the opening sequence, in which we are introduced to the two main characters, I knew I'd like this book, since Chelsea is a rock guitar babe and an archaeology major, and Trevor is a gaming geek/computer whiz. I knew immediately I'd like these two and together, they create an interesting dynamic that drives the action and makes this book non-stop fun from start to finish. I say "fun," but there are a lot of heavy issues going on and many horrific things that are constant stumbling blocks to, not only the two main characters, but everyone aboard SeaSatellite5. With everything going on, and the suspense of some of the major events, I can't wait to delve into the rest of this fabulous new scifi series. And the gorgeous cover looks beautiful on my eReader. Great job all around. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Chelsea didn't try to teleport. All she wanted was to play the Battle of the Bands show. But after accidentally teleporting onto classified Navy vessel SeaSatellite5, all she's rocking is the boat. Once it's sorted out that Chelsea's not a threat, SeaSat5's top scientist offers Chelsea a position on the crew as an archaeology intern. Dr. Saint studies people with powers, believing them to be descendants of Atlantean refugees, except Chelsea's powers are beyond anything on previous record.While great for everyone else onboard, the miracle of Chelsea is Trevor's worst nightmare. The same girl who'd given him a brief lifeline to sanity three months ago literally fell from the sky, under a mile of ocean, and onto the very station where he's employed. Making matters worse, Trevor's family are Lemurians, Atlantis's enemy, and Chelsea's presence is unpredicted--a wrench in an already unstable situation. But Trevor wants no part of his family's war. The only thing he wants is Chelsea, Atlantean or not.Days into Chelsea's sudden appearance, SeaSatellite5 uncovers Atlantean ruins and a massive artifact cache, placing its entire, hundred-man crew in the crosshairs of an ancient war. There are those who want the Atlantean relics inside the ruins destroyed, and only Trevor knows the treasures for what they really are: Link Pieces, tools used by the ancient civilizations for their time-travel war.With lies and shifting alliances abound, Chelsea and Trevor will have to think fast in order to save the station. If they don't, the Lemurians will seize the artifacts and Atlantis will be destroyed forever. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Chelsea didn't mean to teleport. But did she mean to be such an annoying character?
Atlantis and Lemuria. Both sunken continents and at war with each other. In this mess Chelsea teleports, to a very secret navy base in the middle of the ocean. But don't worry, only Chelsea is special enough to succeed.
Chelsea annoyed me. If there ever was a character that was so special and had such powers and didn't question anything. She immediately leaves her family and former life behind in order to be with Trevor, her insta-love. The only other thing she finds important is her career in archeology.
I still believe the premise was promising, but since it is one of those blurbs that gives away at least half of the book, it never got really exciting. I've been reading some reviews and they are all very positive so it would seem I was the odd one out, because at times I really was struggling. I never felt the drive to continue and it was fine for me to put it down (even for days at a time). It was not what I expected and frankly, I was a bit disappointed with Gyre.
Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )
