The Judas Strain

5 stars..

freaking awesome

The series continues to entertain. This time, blending real-life mysteries such as the history of Marco Polo, Angelic writings, and the coolest looking temples to exist in real life in Angkor Cambodia, The Judas Strain is thrilling high-brow adventuring. I really hope the character of Surina comes back in subsequent volumes of this series. She seems so badass! On that note, while this series revolves mainly around the male cast, the female characters are all a lot more interesting and fun to read. Seichan is kick-ass, Lisa is like a scientific Velma, and even all the tertiary female characters peak my interest. I'm really glad to see that Rollins continues to introduce strong female characters, because in adventure books, they always seem to be the highlight.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as Map Of Bones, but it was still a really great, fast paced read!!
