Alright, I'll admit I judged these books by their covers, which by the way are absolutely stunning. And I've read enough graphic novels by now to know that the cover artist is not necessary the person who did the internal art, and to be fair, you can't have such photo-realistic art on every single page. But still, my first reaction was awww, it's not as stunning inside as the outside, though nothing wrong with the inside art either!

We have several storylines in parallel, a treasure hunter is exploring a strange anomalie under the sea, a medium is having visions of the same, a Russian crew on Mars discover a crashed alien ship, and back in 1492, a Quebec TV crew are checking out strange anomalies on Mount Arrarat which they hope might be Noah's Ark, Columbus discovers the new world and are asked by the natives if they came from the sky, from the "red mountain". But some mysteries are best left sleeping...

As I get deeper into the series, book 6 at this point I'm starting to be impressed. The complexity of it, the fact that it takes its time, the fact that who we usually think of the bad guys are the ones trying to stop the "good" guys from unintentionally destroying the world, the reasons behind why the aliens are even in our solar system which may have nothing at all to do with us.

And then...I get to the last two books. One problem is solved but then a new one appears, one that I found difficulty following. Aaron had a lot of visions of the future intermingled with the present, and not all the visions were true visions but rather warnings or messages and by the time I turned the last page I was left scratching my head trying to get the point of it all. It was a bit like if Star Trek (usually a pretty straightforward show) had a final season resembling 2001: A Space Odyssey. So I'm not quite sure what to say other than it started off very interesting but then got so philosophical I got lost somewhere along the way.
