Review: Who is John Galt?
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 06 16, 2014
These books are very reminiscent of Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged.  Very reminiscent of Richard Rahl in the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth series.Men who, despite all odds, stayed true to themselves and not only rose above their circumstances, but inspired all around them to do the same.Given that we, as a civilization, have made more technological advances in the last 50 years than in all the thousands of years before that, one would almost believe the premise of these books.  Where did the knowledge we used for all this technology come from?  And why now?  And did they all evolve from one unique man who lived down thru all the centuries?Thought provoking questions, but ones I'm not sure I want to pursue in these books.  They are interesting, but do I want to spend the money for all the books after book 3?  And there are a lot of books after book 3.Jury's out.  I'll go back to The Dresden Files and maybe when I am done with those, I'll come back to the Aliomenti.
