The Judas Strain - James Rollins (2007)What a roller coaster of a book, definitely one I would put in the "I can see this as a movie, cause it reads like an action screenplay book". Lots of running, swimming, shooting, fast flights across the ocean and of course kidnapping.
One set of scientists discover in Christmas Island, a toxic plague that looks set to destroy all life, and has its traces in the historical journey of Marco Polo. Meanwhile and assassin lands on the doorstep of Sigma leader Gray Pierce, while he is at his parents house. Will they find the cure, will his mother get her fingers chopped off, will they escape from the boat, will they find the cure in time and who will save them?
A 3/5 for this as actually it was a rollicking good read, and the historical aspects made it enjoyable and interesting, in much the same way that the Da Vinici code questioned our understanding about Jesus and early Christianity, this book made me want to read about Marco Polo.
