Book review: The Final Summit by Andy Andrews



     What would you do if you needed to come up with a solution to save mankind from their greed, pride, and hate? Using only two words, a group of six people, including Winston Churchill, Joan of Arc, Eric Ericson, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington Carver, and the heroic David Ponder, the only traveler that was still alive had to find this solution. Not only did they have to find it in two words, but they had only five chances. Will they find the solution in time, or will humanity be destroyed? In this sequel to The Traveler's Gift, time and wits are running out.
     Though I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I must admit at times it was a bit hard to follow. I absolutely enjoyed the section about Eric Ericson, because I never had known all that he did during World War II, becoming a catalyst to the Nazi's downfall. I enjoyed the historical characters, and the research done on them. The mysterious question always lingered, "What should humanity do, individually and collectively in order to restore itself to the pathway toward successful civilization?" All the while, the surprisingly simple solution is yet to be discovered. Overall, An enjoyable read for anyone who enjoys a good book.
