A girl rides her new bike. Suddenly, the ground disappears beneath her. Waking up at the bottom of a pit, she sees a rescue team above her. The people looking down see something far stranger... That girl grows up to be Dr Rose Franklin, a scientist and leading expert on what she discovered. An enormous hand made of an exceptionally rare metal, which predates all human civilization on the continent.

Review of 'Sleeping Giants' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Great premise, some interesting characters (some less than others), a plot that left me wainting to know what would happen next - a pleasant SciFi reading experience.

Yes, there's a LOT of info dumping. And the fact that the whole book is written in the form of interviews and reports doesn't make it more accessible. Some of the characters are two-dimensional. Parts of the plot are so far-fetched, they probably come from outer space (ha!).

But here I was, turning the pages to see what's up with that enormous statue. Definitely a purpose fulfilled: I wanted more, and will probably pick up the next book in this series at some point.
