The Plagues
A brilliant but disturbed young man studying archeology discovers knowledge of the “Ancients” and attempts to put them to good use. But when problems arise he quickly loses all restraint and becomes a demon on earth.
Shelly is your average young woman who works a job she doesn’t care for, and lives an uneventful life…until an old high school acquaintance, Floyd, comes back to town. Floyd just returned, and pushed by her friend, Lyssa, Shelly invites him to a seemingly harmless dinner to catch up on each others lives. What Shelly doesn’t know is this dinner will change her life forever.
Shelly begins to learn things from Floyd about the ancient past and about the disappearance of an entire culture, and as she learns more she realizes she is in real danger and must use all of her knowledge to protect herself and her loved ones from the man who taught it to her.
With a mix of archeological fact and imaginative fancy the story unwinds in parallel in the present time and the late stone age. Pre-biblical legends are interwoven with alien visits and blended into an exciting mixture of intrigue, history, fantasy, and action.

If you like Super Hero’s, paranormal battles of good vs. evil, throw in some suspense and adventure then, The Plagues, is the book for you. Add some strange sci-fi twists and you get an unforgettable roller coaster ride of pure reading enjoyment.
The author brings you to a world of imagination one would not have thought possible and make it seem believable. Kudos Joe.

The book changes storylines many times. The problem from the start and the problem at the end are entirely different. It would have been better if it was broken out into two longer stories.
