In my today's pick on books our
best friend; I review the book, The Seventh Plague by James Rollins, who is a
#1 New York Times bestselling author.
The book is a perfect blend of
historical mystery and scientific intrigue and it tells about an ancient threat
that was hidden in the page of the holy book Bible.
The modern world is at a risk of
the Seventh Plague in case this threat comes out.
In case the biblical plagues of
Egypt really happened, is it possible that it can happen again and that too on
a global scale?
Professor Harold McCabe, the
leader of a British archaeological expedition vanished in the Sudanese desert
two years back. He appeared suddenly, delirious and frantic, stumbling on the
sands, but before he could tell his story, he breathed his last.
Discovery of a bizarre corruption
at the time of autopsy deepens the mystery of his death. It was revealed that
the body of professor started to mummify while he was still alive.
The strange remains are
dispatched back to London, at the same time; alarming news also arrived from
Egypt. Those who were performing the autopsy on the professor body have fallen
ill with an unknown disease, something that is spreading fast beyond the
autopsy lab.
A colleague of the professor
sensed something worse in coming time and reaches out to the director of Sigma
Force and long time friend, Painter Crowe.
The call is an important one as
Professor McCabe disappeared in the desert as he searched for evidence of the
ten plagues of Moses. A disturbing question arises as the pandemic grows.
Will the world face plagues of
the medieval times?
Before director Crow can come to
the scene and investigate things, all the evidences are destroyed by a
mysterious group of assassins, leaving only death and destruction behind.
As the body of professor is
incinerated, the only person to whom Sigma Force can turn to for help is the
daughter, Jane McCabe, of the archaeologist.
The book, The Seventh Plague from
James Rollins will make for an interesting read for anyone who loves history
and science.
