I've just finished reading "Storm Cycle by Iris Johansen & Roy Johansen.
Product Description
Rachel Kirby is a computer genius whose personal life is hell. While she continues to climb the corporate ranks, her beloved twin sister is plagued by a chronic illness that will eventually kill her, leaving Rachel all alone.
Serendipity in the form of a mysterious email lands in Rachel’s lap one day, but not without a price. Thousands of miles away, archeologist John Tanek sits trapped inside a collapsed Egyptian tomb with a functioning laptop. He knows that Rachel is the only person who can help him, but time is quickly running out. It turns out the collapse was no accident. John has discovered something very valuable in that tomb, something that humankind has been searching for throughout history, something that Rachel could use as it may hold the key to her sister’s cure. While Rachel orchestrates his rescue, she soon finds herself trapped in a dangerous web of deceit and murder. Can she put her trust in John Tanek? She’d do anything to save her sister. Will they both live long enough to unravel the ancient mystery they’ve found inside the tomb?
With Johansen and Johansen’s fast-paced action, charismatic characters, and impeccable research, Storm Cycle will carry you away.
My Review:
Storyline: I really enjoyed the storyline because of the super computer and it had an Egyptian setting. It has the involvement of government agencies, a pharmaceutical firm that would like to hide a possible cure, corporate hit men, Egyptian pharaohs, a dying sister, and one supercomputer that may just save the world. The story spans the globe, taking the reader from Houston to Egypt, Paris, Vegas and Russia with an entire cast of entertaining characters in each place.
Characters: The characters were well written especially Rachel, John, Allie & Hal.
Romance: I enjoyed reading the romance between Rachel & John because you can feel the sexual tension between them. Surprised the love scenes weren't as descriptive as previous books.
Killer(s): Some of the killers just wanted money and they were afraid of the real boss. I'm glad they got what was coming to them.
Very fast paced read and I would recommend reading and I enjoyed this one alot more than Silent Thunder!
4/5
