Author James Rollins will present The Seventh Plague at Gibson’s Bookstore on Thursday at 7 p.m.
In this new thriller, he poses a solution for global warming but asks, “At what cost?” Featuring an Elon Musk-like character and a unique perspective on the friendship between Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla, there is a lot of meat on the bone in this thriller.
Rollins’s creativity and succinct stylish writing have the New York Times Book Review raving: “He’s what you might end up with if you tossed Michael Crichton and Dan Brown into a particle accelerator together.” And a recent editor’s pick review from Amazon added, “Think of a Michael Crichton novel on steroids.”
Clearly, reviewers are crowning Rollins as the heir apparent to one of the world’s most revered authors. And with The Seventh Plague, he cements this title. He even gives a humble nod to his predecessor in this novel, using the theme “life finds a way” as a crucial plot twist.
In a breathtaking blend of scientific intrigue and historical mystery, the bestselling mastermind reveals an ancient threat hidden within the pages of the Bible, a threat with a puzzling connection to the travels of Twain, the genius of Tesla and the adventures of famous explorer, Henry Morgan Stanley. The advance reviews are consistently positive:
“When it comes to the blending of action, adventure, history, and science, there is no other author who does it better than Rollins.” – Booklist, starred review
“Rollins’s characters are as large as his landscape in this vast and vastly entertaining thriller saga.” – Publishers Weekly, starred review
The Seventh Plague asks, if the biblical plagues of Egypt truly happened – could they happen again – on a global scale?
