Pandora’s Succession review



CIA operative, Ridley Fox, never stopped hunting his fiancé’s killers—a weapons consortium called The Arms of Ares. When an informant leads him to an old bunker outside of Groznyy, Chechnya, Fox is captured, beaten, and left for dead. When the informant rescues him, Fox learns that his capture was no coincidence: someone had set him up—possibly another government agent. Fox barely escapes after learning that Ares has acquired a hyperdeadly microbe—called Pandora—that is believed to have wiped out ancient civilizations. The trail leads Fox to Tokyo where he discovers that people within the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Japanese Intelligence want Pandora for themselves. The only person Fox can trust is a woman from his past who he nearly got killed.

Brooks’s use of scientific subject matter combined with the adrenaline rushing, edge-of-your-seat action makes Pandora’s Succession a cross between the best of Michael Crichton and The Bourne Identity.

  1. Just popped over from Simply Stacie. I will have to add this book to my list of "must reads" it definitely sounds like something right up my alley (so to speak) and the fact that you said it was a good read, well told and action packed.... I may have to move it up towards the top of the list.

    Thanks for the review

  2. Hello, everyone. I'd like to thank, Chantale, for hosting me on my very first virtual blog tour. This is my first stop and I hope to be back here in the future with my next tour. I'm excited about the contest that I'm hosting and I might come up with a few mini-contests in between. Just keep checking my website: http://www.russellparkway.com. Just like a good thriller, there are bound to be some twists and surprises that pop up. So, like CIA operative, Ridley Fox, be ready to adapt.
