Book Reviews of The Last Oracle

Book Review: How does this guy do it?
Summary: 4 Stars

I started reading James Rollins back with "Map of Bones," and since then he has, without a doubt, improved with every book. I thought he had peaked with "Black Order," but every book since has become more textured, more pulse-pounding, and more thought provoking; his "could it be true" fiction is a hell of a lot scarier than any monster novel material, I assure you. I don't know where he man get the time to do the in-depth research necessary to cover his range of topics in such detail, but I'm glad he does - because I have yet to read one of his novels that wasn't a satisfying escape into fiction that [all too often] is tinged with the horrors of what could really be. This is a superb book.

Summary of The Last Oracle

In Washington, D.C., a homeless man takes an assassin's bullet and dies in Commander Gray Pierce's arms. A bloody coin clutched in the dead man's hand-an ancient relic that can be traced back to the Greek Oracle of Delphi-is the key to a conspiracy that dates back to the Cold War and threatens the very foundation of humanity. For what if it were possible to bioengineer the next great prophet-a new Buddha, Muhammad, or even Jesus? Would this Second Coming be a boon . . . or would it initiate a chain reaction that would result in the extinction of humankind?

Vital seconds are ticking rapidly away as Pierce races across the globe in search of answers, one step ahead of ruthless killers determined to reclaim the priceless artifact. Suddenly the future of all things is balanced on the brink between heaven and hell-and salvation or destruction rests in the hands of remarkable children.
