Customer reviews for The Monkey Toy
I was given a copy of this book by the author, Robert M. Roberts, in exchange for a review. I must say I'm glad he chose to let me read his book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I started reading this book about mid morning one day, and that day quickly turned into a `lazy day' because I wanted to finish the book, I didn't want to put it down until I was done. The story starts out in the Korean War with a pilot seemingly lost in the fog above the ocean. He decides to continue on his current course and finally finds his ship but just as he's about to make an approach to land, Poof! he's gone.
The story quickly advances to modern times aboard another navy vessel in the same ocean, where they are doing testing on a remote island. A team is sent to the island and, as they are boarding their boat to head back to the ship, one of the sailors finds a strange object in the sand . This strange object, and how it affects everyone that comes in contact with it, is the subject of this story .
The author takes you on an exciting journey from Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 through to current times. Using commonly known facts he weaves a story of intrigue and mystery involving UFOs, Area 51, and strange deaths caused by the unknown. The characters in the novel are well thought out, believable, and colourful. Roberts has taken a well known subject and given it a new and refreshing twist, while throwing in some unexpected developments. It's hard to believe this is Robert Roberts début novel, I would recommend it to anyone with a love of intrigue and adventure. I look forward to reading his new novel Souls of the Desert
The Monkey Toy Review by rickh57 "Rick Hale" (Hillsboro, Oregon)
I enjoyed the start and first half of the book, but the ending was too wild, with no protagonists surviving. By the time that the toy ended up in Iran, it was a stretch for me to follow the plot.
There were also some grammar and syntax errors that could have been caught by a good editor. However, it was definitely a good first effort and I'd be interested in reading further books by Robert Roberts.
The Monkey Toy Review by Dennis
Couldn't put it down. Very fast paced. Interesting info on Navy life and life in the Middle East - plus I think I put on 5 pound just hearing about all the great food! I didn't see the ending coming either and I felt so sorry for the Joe character. Perhaps there will be more stories about "monkey toys" found in other locations around the world? I'd like to read more about this Eminence 13 group.
