Aw man!

Tbh I didnt really like this novel, I was hoping for the linda trilogy :( --(. .') 04:16, 4 March 2008 (EST)

• Yea, I'm rather disapointed with this GN. There was really nothing going on in it. I mean, we're forced to wait till September for another episodes, so at least they could move the story along a bit. The Linda one was a good start, the HRG one was ok, but this one is BOOOOORING! --Looky 06:01, 4 March 2008 (EST)
• Actually the story in the novels is determined by the episodes, not the other way around. Don't expect any story development in the coming novels; only little tid-bits. --  Seclusion  talk / contribs 06:21, 4 March 2008 (EST)

Ugh

• *sigh* It seems every work of real-world fantasy eventually devolves into this fluff. Yes, all of the important historical personages are really vampires/evolved humans/Star Fleet officers from the future. The pyramids were obviously built by aliens/evolved humans and were not, in fact, a miraculous work of industrious and enormously clever humans. It's just such a cheap shot, from a writing perspective, and a cliché, and when it becomes rampant enough, all it does is devalue the extraordinary contributions of ordinary human beings. I hope we don't see much more of it.--Hardvice (talk) 04:19, 4 March 2008 (EST)
  • It indeed wasn't a thrilling novel, but there have been worse imho. Anyways, did anyone else keep hoping for Adam Monroe to turn up while they read the novel? I would have liked for him to have been holding the string. At least, then, it would have been more interesting. The writer could have retitled the novel "The First Followers" or something since supposedly Evan encouraged Adam to try and find some disciples shortly after the Revolutionary War.--MiamiVolts (talk) 04:34, 4 March 2008 (EST)
    • Personaly I think another novel with Evan in would be kickass, it doesnt ruin the historical facts it just reintroduced an awesome character. --(. .') 04:38, 4 March 2008 (EST)
  • Seriously? I think it actually elevates Ben Franklin's real life contributions for the exact reasons you stated, Hardvice. I mean, obviously, the real Franklin was not evolved, and the pharaohs of Egypt didn't really have this ancient hidden secret. Revising history by making these great people have something *extra* actually adds an air or mystery to the real life people behind the characters. Besides shining a light on their contributions, the fantasy revisions actual add value to their actual donations to history. At least that's what it does for me... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:33, 4 March 2008 (EST)
