Publisher Description
Maker from the Lost Planet is the enthralling second book in the science-fiction series From Heaven To Earth They Came. If you like ancient battles of the gods, dashing and romantic heroes and heroines, action-packed plots, and thrilling suspense, then you'll love Neal Roberts' historically inspired tale of ancient lore woven into our modern-day struggle for survival.
David Schubert, now America's first ambassador to the ancient Anunnaki gods, is tasked with building a lasting peace between the two sides. Although the path toward such a peace is complicated by the vast superiority of Anunnaki weapons and spacecraft, David soon learns that an even greater threat to humanity is rapidly approaching.
At the landing platform in Baalbek, David is brought aboard the goddess's pyramid shaped spacecraft (known as a "pyramidion"), where he is immediately informed that a thermonuclear missile of unknown origin has just been fired at the pyramidion from a point in Northern Canada, which David would have thought impossible as, for several weeks, an impenetrable Anunnaki ray has been neutralizing all thermonuclear triggers on Earth. Someone, however, has evidently developed technology that can overcome the Anunnakis' defensive ray.
David needs to identify the source of such mighty technology, as it could be used to wipe humankind off the face of the Earth despite any peace forged between Earth and the Anunnaki. David himself is unable to investigate, as he's aboard an Anunnaki craft and working in a diplomatic capacity, so his bodyguard, U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Catharine Weldon, is dispatched by the President to Northern Canada to pinpoint the missile's launch point and, if possible, recover a small scientific submarine that recently went missing while investigating suspicious activity on one of the largest lakes on the North American continent.
That night, the icy lake erupts into a violent confrontation between Catharine (with her hastily assembled contingent) and an unidentified saucer-shaped spacecraft under the command of the Anunnakis' deadliest ancient enemy, who'd long been thought dead. Time is running out for David, Catharine, and humankind.
Can all-out war between the gods be averted, and humanity saved from destruction?

Flawed, but Entertaining
I’m enjoying this series in general. It’s entertaining! However, there are two things about it that bother me: 1. The dialogue between characters just feels “artificial”. I’ll finish reading an interaction and wonder, “Who talks like this?” If the author would just put a little mental role playing at work and think through the dialogue… write it in normal and natural English, it would help the story feel more believable. (I mean, you aren’t going to really believe any of this, but you know that I mean.) 2. And this one really got to me today - a “clip” is not a “magazine”. The items being handled were magazines, yet the author repeatedly referred to them as if the two words were interchangeable throughout a scene. In at least one case, in a single sentence, BOTH words were used to refer to the same item. It almost made me put the book down! Please get this simple distinction right.
Otherwise, I’m enjoying this series and am about to read book 3.
