I just read the first 30 pages of the sample at Smashwords and all I can say is "Wow!"
Your father had a terrific talent for writing, made all the more remarkable by the fact that he spoke (and, presumably, wrote) no English when he arrived in the US. The writing is both fluent and fluid, reading more like popular fiction than the geology/paleontology/anthropology/history encompassed in just the small portion of the sample I read. It is also immediately evident that he had a passion for his subject and the depth and breadth of knowledge that came from the kind of study such love engenders. Combined, his writing style and knowledge will make this series a pleasure to read. This book has jumped to the head of my TBR list. I hope we will see more in the very near future.
I've added this volume to my shopping cart to buy tomorrow night because its already well past my bedtime.
