New world meets the old in this fast-paced adventure

5 out of 5 stars

Hercules was known for many things throughout history — stories of his power and conquests reached many.  The Herculean Society’s main goal is to continue the legacy of Hercules by not letting other uncover some of the most dangerous and worst things in the world.

Narration for Herculean was done by Jeffrey Kafer, who like always does an incredible job.  Kafer really knows how to elevate books and make them even more enjoyable.  Kafer makes Robinsons already awesome work even more awesome (yeah, I went there).

The start of this book really confused me, but don’t be confused for long.  It starts off in a bizarre place, but then quickly goes to the “current” time where the Herculean Society exists.

The group was a really awesome hodgepodge of people from different backgrounds making each new character that was introduced new and different.  I love when an author can introduce numerous people but make the reader still feel like they know and understand each of them.  Each new person had something different about them that made them both stand out and more interesting.

The book itself was fast-paced and really well written.  I found myself being drawn deeper and deeper into the story as it progressed.  Herculean grabs you by the haunches and won’t let go.  Mixing old-world myth with new world technology.

Robinson still gets to stretch his typical monster writing style here, but it is at a minimum compared to some of his other works.
