A militant Islamic sect has stolen
Rinderpest, a dangerous biological weapon. A special forces team is
searching for the thieves. Unfortunately, Brandt, the special forces
leader, kills the thief before being able to extract the location of
the Rinderpest. As he's dying, the thief says something that links
Islam and Judaism. Trying to understand the connection, Brandt
solicits help from Dr. Rebecca Monroe, the finacé
he left when he married the mother of his child. She is a paleo, DNA,
archaeologist and an expert in ancient Judaism and Islam.
Rebecca is being targeted by another
sect. Led by Aunush, a violent woman, and the lover of the sect's
Master. The sect tries to eliminate Dr. Monroe. When they fail, they
start tracking the special forces team. The race is on to find the
Rinderpest and the secret of the first tablet Moses brought down from
Mount Sinai.
Havoc is
primarily a chase scene with lots of action, murder and mayhem. An
added benefit is the romance between Rebecca and Brandt. Their
attraction is still alive and consumes a great deal of their
thoughts. To this was one of the weak points of the novel. While the
pair are being shot out of submarine torpedo tubes and throwing
themselves out of moving vehicles, they're thinking about each other
and what went wrong with their romance.
If you
love action, biblical mysteries, a broken romance, and strange
assassins, you'll enjoy this book. It's not one of the best, but it's
a fast read.
