Book Reviews of Perfect Circle
Book Review: exhilarating brisk science fiction thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
Hugh Reece, President of International Mining Corporation, regrets what he did that drove his heir grandson Paul away. He knows the Congo discovery needs Paul as the lead field geologist opening the shaft and going down the four miles into the earth to discover what is there. The firm contacts the estranged Paul who, though he remains irate with IMC and his grandpa, agrees to invesitgate.
However, as Paul and his crew prepare for the inner earth journey, the Congolese natives who have lived here for generations, know what he will find. They have been waiting for this day and believe Paul is the chosen one to rapel down the chute to either save or destroy civilization as the west knows it.
This is an exhilarating brisk science fiction thriller with echoes of Journey to the Center of the Earth. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Paul reaches the Congo and never slows down. However, it is the strong characterizations especially the flawed and remorseful Hugh and the angry Paul who bring a human frailty to the PERFECT CIRCLE.

Summary of Perfect Circle
Set in the impenetrable jungles of the African Congo, this fast-paced debut tells the tale of a world poised for ecological crisis?and the secret that could save it. From corporate profiteers to the natives who?ve been expecting them, here is a story that asks if man and nature are fated to clash?or if the right man can break the cycle.Heir to a mining dynasty, geologist Paul Reece has chosen a simple life over the scheming opportunism of the International Mining Company. But when IMC approaches him about their mysterious discovery miles beneath the rain forest, Paul is compelled to set aside the sordid event that drove him from his legacy. For the project requires not only a brilliant engineer but one gutsy enough to descend 20,000 feet of solid rock?into the heart of a miracle. With Paul?s expertise, IMC can unearth a windfall?unless Paul decides to bury them first.
But Paul isn?t alone in his quest. Congo?s mystics have prepared for this day. Paul doesn?t realize it yet, but he?s been chosen to pilot a mission that will decide the fate of humanity.
