MY REVIEW:
I have made no secret in the past of my love of the
writings of Glen Krisch. I make no apologies for it and after reading his
latest book, Arkadium Rising, I intend to start shouting it from the rooftops
again.
Marcus and Jason Grant are brothers. Jason the sensible
one holding down a steady job and doing the chores for mom and dad, Marcus the
younger, rowdier one driven by a life of crime and drugs. No one has seen
Marcus in a long time when his ex-girlfriend Delany comes looking for Jason.
She has heard from Marcus and wants Jason’s help to go get him. When they find
him, Marcus seems to be the leader of a band of religious fanatics who all seem
to be members of some strange doomsday cult. Marcus and his band are to set in
motion a process that will end the world as we know it. Jason has to decide
whether to run from Marcus, or run with him.
And there ends what I can say about this book without giving too much away. This is the first book in a trilogy that fans of Mr Krisch like myself have been waiting for with bated breath. The end result is a story that still gets you holding your breath from cover to cover.
