I've been told that the entire continent of Antarctica groaned at the moment of my birth. The howl tore across glaciers, over mountains and deep into the ice. Everyone says so. Except for my father; all he heard was Mother's sobs.

Everyone says so. Except for my father; all he heard was Mother's sobs. Not of pain, but of joy, so he says. Other than that, the only verifiable fact about the day I was born is that an iceberg the size of Los Angeles broke free from the ice shelf a few miles off the coast. Again, some would have me believe the fracture took place as I entered the world.

But all that really matters, according to my parents, is that I, Solomon Ull Vincent, am the first child born on Antarctica; the first and only Antarctican. I was born on September 2nd, 1974.If only someone could have warned me that, upon my return to the continent of my birth thirteen years later, I would be kidnapped, subjected to tortures beyond comprehension and forced to fight.and kill. If only someone had hinted that I'd wind up struggling to survive in a subterranean world full of ancient warriors, strange creatures and supernatural powers.Had I been warned I might have lived a normal life. The human race might have remained safe.

And the fate of the world might not rest on my shoulders. Had I been warned.This is my story; the tale of Solomon Ull Vincent: The Last Hunter. The Last Hunter - Descent by Jeremy Robinson is the first of a series of three young adult books in the Antarktos Saga. I wanted to read The Last Hunter because I enjoyed Antarktos Rising so much. This is a pre-story to Antarktos Rising.

In The Last Hunter - Descent thirteen year old Solomon Ull Vincent has always felt different but never knew if it was based on his intelligence and perfect memory, or if it was due to his birth place - Antarctica.

In The Last Hunter - Descent thirteen year old Solomon Ull Vincent has always felt different but never knew if it was based on his intelligence and perfect memory, or if it was due to his birth place - Antarctica. He was born on Antarctica in 1974 when his parents were there on an expedition. Now he is returning to Antarctica. Once there, Solomon is kidnapped and forced into a very different, brutal new way of life.After the opening, The Last Hunter - Descent is written in the first person, through the perspective of Solomon Ull. Although this is an intense book, it is a quick read. As usual Robinson doesn't include a lot of swearing so the only question would be if the young adult reading it can handle some brutal descriptions and violence.While I enjoyed this first book quite a bit, it felt short - probably due to being the first part of a series.

It certainly was an engrossing fast read while traveling. At this point, while I enjoyed it a lot, I'm unsure if I'll purchase the next two in the series or not since I'm not convinced they are going to enhance the Antarktos Rising universe for me.Highly Recommended, but know that it is an YA book and book one in a series of three.

I'd probably give it a very highly recommended if all three parts were included in one volume as it just felt short, as is explained by its equivalent to 282 pages in print. The best part of this novel is that it's only Book One!

Striking similar veins to Thomas Greanias' Atlantis Rising, Steve Alten's Domain, and such mysteries expectant of Graham Hancock, Book One of the Last Hunter series was so well-paced in the first-person, that every time I put it down to give my eyes a break, I rarely could make it out of the room before the next chapter was holding me captive again. After studying a lot of these themes in research for my own novel, I was impressed beyond measure with Robinson's ability to weave such topics into an intensely engaging, exciting, and fun story. Because we see the story through the eyes of a 13-year old boy growing up in the 80s, we get to see all kinds of references to kid life within that time frame, and, if you're like me - growing up in the same space of time - you'll laugh with memories seemingly long forgotten (like Solomon's TV schedule). I definitely recommend it. Especially if you like. I said I wouldn't give anything away! 4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED ITAUDIOBOOKI'm going to talk about books 1 & 2.Book 1 - 4 starsBook 2 - 3 starsI really liked book 1.

We watched a brilliant but scared young boy survive in an extremely tough environment. He had his memories stollen and was mentally broken down and then built back up to be a fierce fighter, but what he was being groomed to fight was the issue. I enjoyed watching Sol become Ull and I wondered how it would all play out.In book two it all started to fall apart for me.4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED ITAUDIOBOOKI'm going to talk about books 1 & 2.Book 1 - 4 starsBook 2 - 3 starsI really liked book 1.

I enjoyed watching Sol become Ull and I wondered how it would all play out.In book two it all started to fall apart for me.

At the end of book 1 Sol gets his memory back and that causes him to run away and hide from what the Nephilim had planned for him. Now we start to see the old Sol show up again. The one who is scared. This book really focuses on forgiveness, mercy and love. Those are all great things in real life, but in this fantasy story I was hoping for more of a kick-ass warrior book. The fact that I didn't like this book because of all the forgiveness, mercy & love stuff speaks more about me than the book itself.I gave the first book 4 stars because I enjoyed watching Sol become a warrior.I gave the second book 3 stars because it's well written but I didn't care for the softer touch of the story.I don't plan to continue the series. This book was an intense, action filled, dramatic, race car ride I simply didn't want put down.

What a ride it was!Magic, myth, science, religion, the believable & unbelievable unfurled itself from my iPhone, piercing the blackness of our room & whipped me away on a snowflake wind into a world I never would have imagined.

The language - easy to follow & fun to read.No, I'm not going to give you a breakdown of what this book's about: that's what the preview is for but I will tell you this: From start to finish, I was completely engaged. No, it is not JUST a children's book - sheer nonsense - it will delight both young & young at heart alike. In fact, I'd peg it as more of a young adult book than children.I'm anxious to begin reading the sequel.

I've read one other book by this author. Robinson's fluid writing style is quickly making him one of my favorite modern day authors.

Excellent work & thank you for a wonderful read!- Ashley Knight, author of the FINS Trilogy. The first child born on Antarctica is special.

VERY special. He literally remembers the day he was born and every event after that. After a special birthday, Solomon's parents finally take him back to the place of his birth.

Odd things start happening the second he gets there.After his abduction and being left to survive by his own wits. Solomon slowly evolves into the man he needs to be to lead a forgotten race back to the rest of the planet Earth.A coming of age story.

Kudo's to the author. For the flow of the story.

Lots of mystery. Lots of thrills! Fun and fast read. Interesting mix of genres: scifi, fantasy, horror, mythology, survival thriller, lost world, some Lovecraftian weirdness in there and will probably appeal to fans of these genres who are looking for something fast paced with lots of action.

Some reviews here refer to it as a YA novel and it has elements of that, especially in the first third of the novel. Man, does it take a twist though.The protagonist is a 13 year old boy.

Man, does it take a twist though.The protagonist is a 13 year old boy. Don't let that fool you though, it gets pretty dark. There is some fairly graphic violence. If I had read this at 13 years old it probably would have scared the. out of me. Overall very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the next installment. To me this is a YA novel that a fair number of other adults can enjoy if they don't mind a lot of fantasy or science fiction in their reads.

Well you get the idea. This is the first book in the 'The Last Hunter Series' five book series. I liked it, but not sure if I'll read the other four. What lies under the ice in Antartica? Large insects?

They take him home, where he grows up hearing whispers about the strange events surrounding his birth, and he grows more and more curious about his native country. Finally, after his 13th birthday, he returns with his parents to find out for himself. No sooner does he set foot back on the continent, than the strangeness begins again. From that point on the story barrels forward! I can't say much more, or I'll be giving spoilers.Jeremy Robinson has crafted a terrific and fantastic young adult adventure. It is written with a sense of immediacy, but the characters and dialogue are also enjoyable.

I did not feel quite so 'cliffhangered' as I have in other series' first book, but I was so engaged that I purchased the second book in the trilogy before I could stop to write this review!This book grabbed me from the very beginning, and whisked me along with Solomon on his journey through training to be the last hunter, then reawakening to the reality of his surroundings, and finally taking action to reject the evil which kidnapped him.Because of the adult themes of brainwashing, spirituality, and violence, this book is best suited for this 14 or 15 and above on the Aardvark scale. The mixture of fantasy and YA adventure will have you breathless from the first sighting of the pale man with red hair.I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.Find more of my reviews on. I didn't know what to expect from this book so I went into it with an open mind. I'm glad I did as this book had the chance to really impress me.The first thing to like is that there is a genuinely interesting protagonist.

From the very start, you can tell that there is hidden potential there or at least some mystery surrounding the character. This makes reading about his journey all the more interesting because you want to know more about him.The rest of the characters are strong as well.

I never felt that any of them were too one dimensional which is quite impressive considering the relatively short length of this book.Most of all, I am pleased by the massive potential of this story.

I felt like we were only scratching the surface in this novel. We are introduced to both a new world and a new magic system that surely has a lot more to offer in future novels.One downside was that I thought it might feel a little rushed. I wouldn't have minded a few more pages to flesh out side characters, relationships and events a little bit more. This isn't a massive problem as it actually helps propel the story at times. However, there were just a few things I wouldn't have minded looking at a little deeper.By the end of this novel I was thoroughly enjoying myself and interested in seeing what comes next. I can happily recommend this book, even older readers.

Though this has a teenaged protagonist and is at home on the YA shelf, I never felt talked down to as an older (okay, only thirty but that's old enough) reader and I got a lot of enjoyment out of it. I can't believe I had never found these books before!

I just crushed all 5 in week and this series, while it still has a few flaws, is amazing.It has everything I love; MC kidnapped as a child? Trained to become a ruthless killing machine? Epic battles? Great combat scenes? Cast of characters that continue to grow and develop? CHECK!Told from first person; the main character Solomon grows as each book progresses.

The journey in the five books he Wow. I can't believe I had never found these books before!

The journey in the five books he goes through.wow. Epic is the only word to describe it. Only one thing bothered me about him.which you don't really notice till books 4 and 5 is his inability to kill fellow humans.Mira described it best to him 'would you kill someone to save me?' , why it took him so long to realize that this is War, in war people die. Not killing someone evil can come back to bite you later. I know there was one character Wright who most likely could of been saved if Solomon was fighting at full power.

I wish he learned that lesson a little earlier.but oh well. Great character nonetheless.The fight scenes in the series are so well done, you really get a visual of what is going on.superb.I had purchased the Collected Edition on Amazon, and it includes a little extra story at the end which I enjoyed.Highly recommend this book to everyone, it has a little bit of all genres I think.

And as a completed series? Not too many great books come complete nowadays. I am happy to officially christen my summer vacation with a fast paced exciting adventure book! And the best part for me?

Extreme paintbrawl 32. It's a series!!! What's cool about this book is that it mixes realistic fiction, fantasy, adventure and a combination of old mythology and biblical demons in a thrilling read. I think this would be a perfect series to get young middle schoolers interested in reading! The protagonist is Solomon, a 13 year old super smart kid just trying to fit in at school Yet, he knows Wow!!

The protagonist is Solomon, a 13 year old super smart kid just trying to fit in at school Yet, he knows he is somehow different-yet can't quite figure it out. Born on Antarctica as the only kid to do so- he is different. As his family decides to fly back to Antarctica, Solomon begins to experience some strange feelings and 'magical ' phenomenon. This is where the story takes off and Solomon becomes Ull, the last hunter.

The mystery of Antarctica makes a great setting for this book because really, we don't know everything about this vast continent. Enough nonstop action to make you keep turning the pages! And I genuinely like Solomon. The author has made him a likable hero. No inappropriate content here which is something I really appreciate. Running off to get the second book. This is a book for youth readers and I read it to review for Amazon.

It is the first book in the series. I do not usually much like science fiction type things or books with strange creatures, etc. This book has both elements. Solomon was born in Antarctica, the only person ever, and he has bonded with the continent. When returning with his family when he is about 13, he is taken and held beneath the surface by various creatures.

I am not too crazy about the creatures and the violence, but there is an interesting element of hope and the strength of love and forgiveness. Solomon had been 'broken' to the point that he had no memory of his previous life. Yet, when circumstances put him back in contact with someone from that life, he begins to remember. It is the power of that love that gives him the strength to fight back. There are really some very positive and powerful messages in the story. I think that young people would probably really like this book. It is about a young boy who has to stand up to great evil and use his own powers to conquer.

I am looking forward to book 2 to see if and how he succeeds. All your imaginings of this place would have never led you here.This is the story of a young boy, Solomon, the only human ever born on the continent of Antarctica.

What happens next is a horror story that pulls you in.Through his trials, he shows great character. He loses himself and then finds himself again. Jeremy’s evil characters are very evil. However, his good characters are people we like, people we can identify with, cry with, and cheer for.If you like SciFi stories with strange creatures, giants, and lots of adventure, this is a great choice.

The first person viewpoint is extremely well executed, and that was partially why I choose to buy this book when I read the reviews. There is a lot of character development and Robinson manages to give you a lot of depth to characters you meet for only a couple pages. I did find myself having to put the book down near the middle though, just to break away from Solomon's new personality, which borders psychotic.

But I quickly got back to it, just to see what would happen.Given the ending of the Descent though, I hope that the intensity will be transmitted to the sequel. I'll definitely be buying it when it comes out. Perfect memory thirteen year old Solomon Ull Vincent remembers his birth. He remembers the first person that delivered him to the world.
