The Eye of God --- by James Rollins. Wow! Look at the list of ingredients: a downed research satellite; impending destruction raining on the US caused by a meteor swarm; a dying sea; Chinese triads; North Korean troops; Genghis Khan and ancient relics. And that’s just for starters. Toss in some heavy weaponry and a pinch of torture and you’ve got what you need to bake this latest (2013) of Rollins’ books. To say that it involves action is an understatement. To say that the locales are exotic would also miss the mark. To say that his characters are larger than life without much meat would also hit the nail right on the head. And to suggest that the plot is implausible would also be quite accurate. But then that’s the whole idea behind this genre. Fans of biff, bam action stories will go for this novel. Rollins fans will positively swoon (?)
