"Tree of Life", by J.F. Penn



Arkane book#11

An ancient manuscript that leads to the Garden of Eden. A seed that can restore the world to nature ...but only by destroying humanity in its wake.

Wow ...sound spooky.... it is. Ms. Penn t takes us on an imaginable journey to Eden with Morgan Sierra and Jake Timber her two protagonists. This chilling and pulse-pounding suspense drama takes us from Lisbon to Macau to the Caribbean and to Brazil on a hunt for fragments of an ancient Portuguese manuscript stolen from a Jewish library in Amsterdam.

“Tree of Life” is a highly imaginative account that delves into religion with knowledge and seamlessly weaves beliefs, geography and culture into a lively and dynamic plot. Once again the setting is magical, scary and mythical. The author knows how to phrase her ideas with haunting effects to imprint in our mind pictures only she can do. A tad of improbability chiseled into her mystery is not a bad idea in order to captivate us and she does that expertly. Her magic touch is fluid and very visual...and her kick-ass globetrotting protagonists keep you so stitched to the story you forget where you are....fast-paced, spooky but interesting story hard to forget...well-done as usual Ms. Penn

The author has graciously provided this book for an honest review.
