Book Review: Serpentine by Peter Parkin and Alison Darby

serpentineRipped from the headlines, “Serpentine” literally takes the readers into a roller coaster ride of mystery and intrigue. Its John Grisham meets Tom Clancy in this conspiracy-filled novel that will capture your attention from the first chapter to the last.

Don’t be surprised when you reach the last page that you have been holding your breath and feel like you’ve been running a marathon. Following Nathan Morrell, Shelby Sutcliffe and John Fletcher in their search for the truth also happens to be non-stop action.

As they pull a thread and follow it, there is always a new revelation. Instead of answers, there are more questions. But, they cannot stop because if they do, it will cost them their lives.

A great read! I have to advise you though. Read this during the weekend or when you have time to get immersed in the book. Once you start, it is hard to stop.

Serpentine” is Rated M for Mature due to violence. There is a little sexual content but it is very brief and not graphic.

Description

Nathan Morrell is one of the foremost designers of thrill rides, and for him the occupation is much more than just a career; it’s an undeniable passion. Today is a proud day indeed. The inaugural circuit of Nathan’s latest creation, the world’s newest and most thrilling rollercoaster, is an event that has been long-awaited. The anticipation of the very first ride of the Black Mamba has created a buzz in the state of Virginia—for politicians, the public, the favored first riders, and for Nathan’s company, Flying Machines Inc.

But this event is also being watched with interest by others—people lurking in the shadows who see the Black Mamba as a means to an end. There is a spine-tingling truth at stake that involves much more than just a mere ride at an amusement park. A truth that is intended to remain secret.

Serpentine is an intoxicating thriller that takes a page right out of today’s headlines. And then it takes those headlines one page further, right to the edge of an ominous and imminent crisis that threatens the world as we know it.
