Gravity: The Alex Cave series book 4 (English Edition) Kindle版
Giant globules of molten rock are defying the laws of physics by floating up out of an ancient glacier in this science fiction mystery!
Geology instructor Alex Cave receives an urgent message about an unusual event in Iceland, creating a huge spiral tunnel down into the dormant volcano. Alex and his friend, Okawna, descend deep into the mountain, seeking answers to the strange phenomenon, and are reluctantly joined by Janice Sloan, a ruthless woman dealing in stolen technology, and John Essex, a billionaire scientist fanatical about conquering outer space and mining the moon. What they discover at the bottom is an alien artifact more powerful than a nuclear weapon.
Sloan steals the device and activates it, but cannot turn it off. It begins dragging satellites from space and threatens to bring down the International Space Station. When it changes the orbit of the moon, the extreme tidal effect starts destroying the shorelines on a global scale.
And if that isn’t enough, a gold asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, and will impact in six days. Alex’s only chance of changing its trajectory is with the alien device, and he’s running out of time to locate it.
Get ready for thrilling scenarios, exhilarating situations, and nail-biting suspense. A fantastic ride from this bestselling and award-winning author.
How does Alex save civilization from extinction?

Back at home in Montana, Alex, whose day job is a college professor, has a very annoyed live in girlfriend, Fala, who has had it with Alex’s mysterious disappearances. It seems that Alex works on the side as a secret agent for the CIA and other covert government agencies, which Fala knows little to nothing about.
On this new mission the world is literally dependent on Alex and Okana’s success or else Armageddon will be upon us.
With an easy-to-read writing style in the third person narrative, James M. Corkill’s newest edition to The Alex Cave Series won’t disappoint fans. And don’t worry about missing the other three books in the series. This novel stands alone very nicely without having knowledge of the back-story of the previous books.

When you have written three sequels to a story and have had a successful turnout, the chances of you failing at the 4th is minimal. As gravity is the phenomenal force that draws anything with mass towards its self, this story is pretty much an outer space experience where outer space affects the orbit of the moon causing the life of earth and everything on it to be in danger.
Alex Cave is the hero of this tale. He is a geologist and discovers this powerful device that is extremely dangerous. His job is clear but not simple. He has to destroy the device that is affecting the moon and convince his girlfriend that he is not playing around trying to avoid her. At the same time, he also has to save Earth from crashing into an asteroid.
Gravity is certainly a science fiction story. Although it covers the basics of science, we all studied in high school, with the implications caused if there wasn’t the moon and how the earth is dependent on it. We have the additional spice of romance and the excitement of saving the world with the always added ‘limited time’ cherry on top in this fourth attempt.
The pace and plot were excellent. The writer definitely knows how to grab your interest and demand your individual attention. He exhilarates your breathing and takes you away from your normal space into his world. The literary standard was in good standing and the character building although being my first read was still good enough to not make me feel out of place.
I believe this book suits Hollywood very well and if given a chance it will do very well at the box office.
I recommend this book to science fiction readers and out of space readers.

With that being said, “Gravity” was fairly mediocre. It seemed to rip off the story of “Armageddon” (group of unlikely heroes must save the world from a killer asteroid), but without the emotional punch and heart-wrenching consequences. In fact, “Gravity” wrapped up in a nice, neat, too-good-to-be true burst of serendipity. Don’t get me wrong, I love a happy ending, but this was just silly and it robbed the rest of the preceding events of their impact.
Perhaps I would have felt differently if the characters and writing had been more developed. Mr. Corkill penned a novel full of one-dimensional people with stiff, unnatural dialogue and exaggerated interactions. I was never able to form a connection with them and they were always being saved by this chance or that, it seemed. The writing style was bland and there were a number of little things that bothered me; helicopters don’t have jet engines, capitalization of proper nouns was inconsistent (Buford glacier should be Buford Glacier), “Gravity” lacked emotional energy, so even events that should have been huge had zero impact.
Bottom line: Meh. I have no strong feelings one way or the other about “Gravity”.
