My Thoughts:
Plagues of Eden is
the fourth in the series of the Eden Thrillers Book Series. I would highly
recommend reading the first three books to get the background to the story or
you will miss some of the connections as I did and this will take away from
your enjoyment and understanding of this novel.
Basically, there is a madman on the loose who has decided
and thoroughly planned out how to carry out the same plagues that God rained
down on the Egyptians in the old testament unless his demands are met – turning
the sea to blood, the plague of darkness and so on right up to the death of the
firstborn. He leaves clues as to where the next plague will be carried out
because he is not doing this in just one country, but worldwide, causing havoc
everywhere – economic destruction and chaos all over the world.
Chaplain Jaime Richards and Mark Shepard, a rock star, are
hot on the trail of the madman, following his clues which are left in code. It’s
a giant scavenger hunt with the world as the prize.
The intensity of the suspense is ramped up as the entire
book takes place over only three days. There are lots of surprises in the plot
to keep you guessing too.
I liked the characters of Jaime and Mark, though Mark didn’t
seem like the kind of guy I would expect to be a rock star. Maybe I’m
stereotyping rock stars. I do think I would have enjoyed the book more if I had
read the first three in the series first, so I highly recommend starting at the
beginning.
Due to starting the series with this book (my own fault) I
rated Plagues of Eden at 3 stars out
of 5.
I received this book as part of a book tour with Promotional
Book Tours. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts were my own.
