An evil cult, spawned long ago in the desert wilderness of Egypt, has realized its goal. The people of the United States have been gifted with the presence of the Devil's Eye. It pulsated an ancient curse. An infiltrator has risen to the highest levels of society to bring about the collapse of the American way of life. Colonel Christopher Caine is a commando in the ultra-secret Omega Group, tasked to prevent the theft of nuclear weapons and ferret out world terrorists. Dr. Laura Mitchell, a brilliant and seductive professor of French History, is versed through her uncle-a survivor of Stalin's death camps-in old myths and legends. Their acquaintance is welded when Colonel Caine thwarts a strange attack upon them one night outside the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Through starkly different backgrounds and a smoldering attraction to each other, can they unravel a succession of bizarre deaths of senior government officials before an inevitable nuclear surrender of America into evil hands reaching out from ancient times?
Fantastic read! Picked up "Devil's Eye" in the morning and read it all the way through. Work and sleep were no match for this book (finished around 3 AM). Ruksenas molds the plot and characters so creatively. Every chapter ending leaves you wanting more.
I really enjoyed the combination of politics and the supernatural. "Devil's Eye" seems to be the start of a new genre. One moment you're a fly on the wall listening to great back-room political dialogue and the next moment you're on a helicopter in the Middle East searching for an ancient cult manipulating a curse. Thrill ride.
I've recommended "Devil's Eye" to some of my reader friends and all of them have mentioned how much they enjoyed it. I recommend it to you!
The author kept you guessing all the way to the end as to whether or not the Vice-President's daughter was still alive. This was kept to the forefront, while Colonels Caine and Jones were endeavoring to save the world from an old evil which was rapidly taking control over our government and our very lives.
Didn't think is like it, but in the end it was a great read. There are some very interesting and historical items mentioned along with their history which made the story even better.
