My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble
Ben Walker, employee of
The National Science Foundation (lol, not really - he actually secretly works
for DARPA) and survivor of the Mount Ararat incident (among others that are
secret) is called in when weird shit is found at an archaeological dig in Northern
Iraq. Because that’s what DARPA (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)
does – investigates natural and unnatural phenomena in case it could be
dangerous and used against the US and obtain it if at all possible. In Mosul he
meets up with Kim Seong who works as an advisor and observer for the United
Nations. She and Walker had survived the horror of Ararat and if they’re both
at this dig, then the weird shitometer is likely about to bury the needle. Will
Lady Luck shine on them again?
I thought my heebie
jeebies had all been heebie jeebied out when I finished Ararat. Wrong! Sweet Mother of Pearl! Walker and Kim step into yet
again. Archaeologist Sophie Durand has been at her dig, The Beneath Project, for
months when a small room is discovered off a worship chamber inside the
underground city. And off of that hidden room is another hidden room. One that
should never have been found by anyone. Ever. Because man, oh man. It’s bad.
Ever hear of Pandora’s Box? Yeah, that box. Only, it’s actually a jar. I mean,
if it really is Pandora’s Box/Jar. Because, is it? Oh! But guess what? There’s
more! When the dig is attacked by jihadists, Ben, Kim, and dig workers have to
deal with bullets topside and the jar in the city underneath. You’ll have to
decide which option is the worst. Because EEEEEEEEE!
Keep hands and feet
inside the car at all times and stay strapped in until the very end because
this is one wild ride! Near non-stop action, heart palpitating danger,
mysterious happenings, horrifying deaths, and danger to the extreme had me
gritting my teeth and leaning anxiously forward in my seat on more than one
occasion. Great setting, wonderful characters (I worried so much as to who
would survive), history, action, danger, and horror. It doesn’t get much better
than this folks.
