"Destroyer of Worlds", by J.F.Penn




Arkane Series book # 8

This fast-paced adventure sends Morgan Sierra and Jake Timber, the main players in this series, from the slums of Mumbai to the temples of Kolkata, to the Taj Mahal in Agra and to Rwanda looking for a fragment of an ancient Hindu sculpture stolen from the Arkane headquarters in London.

As all the books in this series this 8th installment can be read as a standalone and takes off right from the start and keeps an even pacing throughout. The story is fascinating I couldn’t helped but to zip through the pages in no time so deeply involved in the drama that I had a hard time to set it aside. This is by far my preferred series by this author ,“Destroyer of Worlds” tops it all. The vivid narrative and the colourful scenes create images in the mind, so easy to visualise what is going on. Of course Morgan and Jack, two interesting personalities, work so well together and I particularly love their kick-ass attitude...no- nonsense for them. In this story we are deeply into culture, mythology and beliefs all this beautifully mixed into a tale as scary as it is interesting. Ms. Penn research and attention to details is amazing. Only Ms. Penn can blend a bit of history and supernatural into an absolutely awesome read.

Well-done
