This book was not especially Scary to me .. more strange and bizarre. Definitely compelling and a good vacation read. Plus you can't go wrong with 2000 year old clones. Arriving at page 301, I'm finally giving up hope. I abandon this book. Therefore, no stars for it. Although the cover text promised it to be a super exciting thriller, it doesn't not really fascinate me. I have been reading for two weeks now and it feels like I'm getting nowhere. Have just readthe piece about the courtyard and I'm definitely done now. The overall plot doesn't go on anymore, Nathan's stuck in Los Alamos ... I give up. I remember enjoying Jeff Long's The Descent when I read many years ago. But I can't say the same for Year Zero. The story just never came to together. A plague ravages the world after being unleashed from an ancient Christian artifact. The stories has interesting themes of Christianity, humanity, and sacrifice, but they never came together for me. I kept reading hoping they would get tied up in some interesting way, but it never came.
The sum of this complex tale is more than its parts of medical thriller, archeological fiction, action/adventure and doomsday scenario, as Long (The Descent) thrills with an intricate puzzle. A Greek collector of religious relics searching for artifacts from Christ's crucifixion sends samples of a powder dated to Year Zero to three foreign labs, thereby unwittingly unleashing a plague organism that races through the world's populations... The shifting terrain is vibrantly portrayed, the religious fallout is deftly handled and the characters engage completely as they face a gruesome end to civilization in this dashing, exciting thriller.
In The Descent, New York Times bestselling author Jeff Long led readers into the darkest regions of suspense and adventure. Now he returns with an apocalyptic scenario that threatens to eradicate mankind. In Jerusalem, an American archaeologist working on Project Year Zero -- the search for the historical Jesus -- crosses the line between science and theft when he helps plunder an old Roman landfill beneath the crucifixion grounds known as Golgotha. Nathan Lee Swift's crime will have devastating consequences. When an ancient relic is opened on the black market, a two-thousand-year-old plague is unleashed -- and the dying begins. As the pestilence threatens to wipe out humanity, he finds a chance for redemption -- by finding the cure. Skirting the edges of civilization, Nathan Lee sets out to find his younger daughter and travels to Los Alamos, where a desperate tactic has been adopted: the use of human lab rats cloned from Project Year Zero remains. Now Nathan Lee will come face-to-face with one special cloned human who may hold the key to salvation -- in more ways than one. Patient Zero claims to remember who he is....And his name is Jesus Christ. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
