Judas Strain by James Rollins

James Rollins is relatively a new comer in the Science/Fantasy fiction arena, but he has made a good impression on me with his writing, his imagination, character development and able to keep the reader engrossed in his created world. He has also managed to continously improve. Any Action or adventure author would always trying to strech the limit of credibility a little, but what I like is how James Rollins brings in the right mixture of science/facts to make this strech feel real. :)

I am still in the process of reading Judas Strain, but the first chapter was totally amazing. I mean a good first chapter always sets the trend for the book, it makes the reader want to know more, it raises questions that you want answered, it intrigues you and more.. The voyage of Marco Polo from Asia back to Europe was really well written....

I do not want to write more about the story and plot and spoil the surprise for your if you have not yet read this book. On the other hand, if you have already read the book, then you know :)

The very first book I read of James Rollins was Sandstorm. It was just an amazing book and then after that I tried to catch hold of all his books and have read most if not all of them.

Cannot wait for his latest book "The Last Oracle". Am I greedy or what?....Yet to complete Judas Strain, but already wanting his next book....lol.

Have a good weekend and more to come next week.....
