Interpretation Concering Books Poseidon’s Children (The Legacy of the Gods #1)
Man no longer worships the old gods; forgotten and forsaken, they have become nothing more than myth and legend. But all that is about to change. After the ruins of a vast, ancient civilization are discovered on the ocean floor, Coast Guard officers find a series of derelict ships drifting in the current—high-priced yachts and leaking fishing boats, all ransacked, splattered in blood, their crews missing and presumed dead. And that's just the beginning. Vacationing artist Larry Neuhaus has just witnessed a gruesome shark attack, a young couple torn apart right before his eyes....at least, he thinks it was a shark. And when one of these victims turns out to be the only son of Roger Hays, the most powerful man in the country, things go from bad to worse. Now, to stop the carnage, Larry and his new-found friends must work together to unravel a mystery as old as time, and face an enemy as dark as the ocean depths.Itemize Books During Poseidon’s Children (The Legacy of the Gods #1)

Very enjoyable "monster movie" book. That's just what it felt like. I've always loved monster movies and this book didn't disappoint. Sea creatures... shape shifting "people" ... an isolated coastal community... an ancient prophecy... Atlantis discovered. How can you go wrong? What else can I say? Just read it!Poseidons Children represents a bit of a change of pace for Michael, being the first volume of his urban fantasy series, The Legacy of the Gods. Lest you think he's moved entirely away from the realm of horror, however, just check out that cover with its homage to the likes of Evil Dead and Jaws. This is urban fantasy in terms of scope (it's bigger than anything he's done before, with a ton more characters) and plot (it's a lot more layered and intricate than his previous work), but individual
I remember when I read my first Hemingway. Sitting in my grandfathers study snuggled under my great grandmother's knitted blanket with a small 60 watt bulb illuminating the treasured book from his shelves. His study smelled like leather and typewriter ribbon, I will never forget that. When I smell these things or snuggle under that blanket, which I still have, I go back to that time in that chair with that Old Man. Memories are heavily tied to scent, taste, feeling... and for me words. I was so
Poseidon's Children is the first book in the The Legacy of the Gods series by Michael West.How would you classify the 1998 movie The Faculty? I would classify it as horror, yet I've seen it on urban fantasy lists. I find the same blurring of lines with Michael West's Poseidon's Children. It is classified as an urban fantasy novel, but it is very much a horror story.Poseidon's Children starts out a lot like Jaws except the sharks in Poseidon's Children have hands. These sea monsters are
Maybe it's just me, but I don't read many books involving sea creatures, let alone mythical ones. One of those little oversights from my reading habits I suppose, so this novel was going to be a departure for me, at least in that regard. When I first read about this new urban fantasy from Seventh Star, I wondered if the "urban" actually meant Atlantis. I don't know if I could read an entire novel set underwater with mermen swimming about, so I was relieved that a lion's share of this book takes

It's been a while since I have read this type of monster story, but I love the movies. This one played like a movie in my mind. I am giving Poseidon's Children 4 1/2 stars for the story and writing + 1/2 star for exceeding expectations. I look forward to the next book.Michael West has done a great job of creating unique twists to well-worn myths, giving us both beautiful and terrifying new creatures in the process. There is a large cast of characters (human and monster), but with each having
