Ogmios Team Adventure #6
Gold: An Ogmios Thriller
The dying begins now.
"I am Solomon. Remember my name." How could the world forget? The cardinals were dead, murdered with the eyes of the world watching intently. The people that were supposed to protect them had failed spectacularly. The promise had been for forty days and forty nights of fear. Now the dying has begun with that first burning body in Trafalgar Square.
The media speculate that it is an attack on faith, that Solomon is out to destroy all symbols of Christianity. They fear for the holy relics, the Shroud of Turin, the Spear of Destiny, all of the fragments of the true cross, anything and everything sacred to Rome, but it is much more than that.
Forty days and forty nights of fear. Can the world survive the nerve-shredding anxiety that kind of fear brings with it without turning on itself?
As the first ghost planes falls out of the sky, all of its passengers and crew dead, killed by some toxic nerve agent released by one of Solomon's sleeper agents, the answer seems to be a resounding no. The enemy is too big. Too strong. The stakes too high.
But that impossible fight was exactly the kind of threat his team of misfits had been assembled to face down. They were the only ones capable of acting outside the law, no restrictions on how far they can go to protect the Realm, no action too extreme - because they aren't there. They don't exist. Everything they do and have done is deniable.
PRAISE FOR STEVEN SAVILE AND THE OGMIOS SERIES!

You'll Never Look At Gold The Same Again. FINALLY, after so many years begging for this book that I finally stopped begging and just quietly assumed it would never happen, Steven Savile comes back with the explosive conclusion to the story he created in SILVER.
SILVER is easily one of the best thrillers I've read in my life, and GOLD is at least as good. The action picks up shortly after the events of SILVER, with the team still dealing with its repercussions. Except that the threat is about to be realized, and now the team must fight harder than ever to save lives before it is too late.
But with the events of SILVER looking over their heads, can they pull off the impossible, even as the odds are stacked ever more against them?
Well... read to find out :D

Despite my best efforts, I read this entire series out of order. This book was a continuation of Silver, a book released years earlier but had just been published. The publish dates did not match the series chronology. I think that Silver/Gold are meant to be read in that order and separate from the other Ogmios books but I'm just guessing here.
All that aside, this book was an exciting read. Some of the terrorist events were pretty inventive and the whole book ripped along nicely to a satisfying conclusion.

Turned out to be okay, but it had been so long since Silver, I forgot most of what happened before. I loved Silver, and found Gold to be just okay. Plus, several glaring editorial type mistakes. I am sure Gold was not self-published. Did no one proof read this? It has been out for 2 years or so. Cannot believe others have not caught these basic mistakes. Despite my misgivings, this is still a good thriller. Will we see the Ogmios Group again? I kind of hope so.
