The Jericho Singularity

By: Joel Gerard

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

During the last fifty years, the level of the Dead Sea has dropped more than fifty feet, and land that has not been explored in over ten thousand years is suddenly dry and exposed. It reveals something never before seen by modern eyes, an immense cavern buried in the old sea floor, the walls of which have been carved with millions of perfect circles. Tan Wu is sent to investigate, and struggles not only to uncover the meaning behind the massive inscription, but also to set the information free as the world’s governments and violent religious factions bear down on him to keep it hidden. What he discovers changes the world and everything we know about ourselves.

Great for sleeping

This book is so bad and virtual voice so boring I just put it on and fall asleep to with no interest at all in trying to catch up on where it was when I started it when I went to bed. I just put it on random chapters to restart for the next nights sleep. The romantic tension relationship, if that’s what is was, sounds like a 15 year old boy fantasy when he is a virgin. Seriously, in a meeting with professionals he puts his hand on her shoulder and calls her baby.

I don’t even think people who are knowledgeable about the Bible could follow it. Not to be picky but the characters start questioning if some ancient symbols that are the mathematical formula Pi is somehow flawed when it starts to go wrong at some trillions of places. Markings on the side of ritual man made caves go up to 30,000 feet deep…over 5 miles. They have to descend some 6 hours to work down it, what do they do for bathroom breaks? They are understanding and breaking codes and codes within codes and understanding what they mean about in the cosmos some 2 billion years+ ago. It is taking weeks. Heck it took over 20 years to break hieroglyphics, also took decades to decider Linear B and they still haven’t broken Linear A. It took decades and many people to decider cuneiform and are still working at it.

Since this is not science fiction but a real world, current world archaeological discovery there should be some plausibility in narrative. I have never seen so few people work on something so complicated and are experts accidentally put together. It is dreadful.
