Product Description
Product Description
At the dawn of civilization ...An exotic stranger appears in a Mesopotamian village and is venerated as a goddess ...until she unleashes a horror beyond anything humankind has ever known. At the sunset of civilization ...A mercenary unit in northern Iraq, led by Sergeant Jason Yaeger, has trapped radical Islam's most wanted target in a mysterious cave that sits at the heart of the Genesis story. When a Marine platoon seeks to control the extraction mission, a threat far more ominous is found lurking beneath the mountains. Meanwhile in Boston, Massachusetts, Agent Thomas Flaherty helps archaeologist Brooke Thompson escape assassination by a Las Vegas televangelist intent on using the cave's deepest secret to bring the Middle East to its knees.

There are times when I really want a fast moving, action packed thriller adventure and that's exactly what I got in this offering from Michael Byrnes. Add to the mix a touch of biblical mystery, some modern science belief alongside a touch of military paranoia and you get something pretty damn hard to put down. Ideal holiday material and one that won't let you go, the sheer pace could leave you feeling exhausted at the end of the day. A real joy to read and one that has definitely made sure that I'll keep a careful eye on this author in future.

Having never read Michael Byrnes before, I was a little sceptical. However, I found this book one I could certainly not put down. It purports new theories about the dawn of civilsation that contain an unexpected dramatic high at the very end. From a mercenary unit in Northern Iraq to a cult church in Las Vegas and US covert ops in Boston in Boston, you are thrown from one area of operation to another but the flow is so interlinked that it does not deter interest in the whole. A really good read and very well written by a Rutgers Graduate. Like Tom Clancy, Michael Byrnes was also an insurance broker - does that indicate that the inusrance world "endows" its people with a lot of free time? Pause for thought!!! In any event I have now put my Amazon order in for the 2 books I already missed by BYRNES (luckily not in sequence with this one. The Genesis Plague

Having read a previous novel by this author I purchased two more and was not disappointed. The story in this one centres on a cave in the desert which holds a secret and a deadly plague - hence the title. It is all a bit unlikely but good action novels tend to stretch credibility a bit. There is plenty of action and it makes for an absorbing read

The ending was flat and I wish I hadn't persevered with it. Read more

Thought I would like this but I remained detached throughout the whole book not caring whether the main characters lived or died. Read more
