Conspiracy

     On the back of the book, Before the synopsis of the story, there’s a quote from Nelson DeMille that I found very interesting:

“This work of fiction is based on a rumor, repeated on the Internet, about a government plan very much like the one I call Wild Fire. Hopefully, the story I’m about to tell will play out only in these pages…” 

    The story that this wonderful author then goes on to tell is a nail-biting, breath-stealing, chuckle-rousing, on-the-edge-of-your-seat ride that will keep you glued to the book… at least it did for me. Drat the need for sleep anyways! And yes, while adding “chuckle-rousing” to the description of a thriller may seem to be an error, it’s not: John Corey, one of DeMille’s returning characters, has the smartest, and funniest, mouth around. Irreverent, somewhat laissez-faire when it comes to rules, extremely loyal and all-round excellent hero, John Corey also makes me laugh all the way through the book. A serious story? You bet… but with a good dose of relief throughout. This story was, for me, a no-brainer as a Winner.

RATING:
Excellence: Excellent to OUTSTANDING ~ 4.5 stars
Steaminess: not really applicable (married behind-doors sex) 

 End of the world thriller .....
