Last Prophecy of Rome
by Iain King
Publisher: Bookouture
When Oxford military history lecturer Myles Munro and his
cable news reporter girlfriend Helen Bridle are vacationing in Rome, Myles is
pulled into a potential terror threat to bring down the United States of
America. With the clue that the US will fall for the same reason the Roman
Empire did, Myles is soon on the track of a former love turned terrorist,
Placidia, and her African warlord husband, Juma. Throw in a powerful US
senator, his son who thwarts a bomb attack on Wall Street, poison, an ancient
plague, and plenty of locales from New York to western Iraq, and you have all
the elements needed for a story that will keep you turning pages quickly.
Will Myles and Helen solve this puzzle in time to stop the
devastation of a modern superpower or will they be too late to stop a
catastrophe like the one that brought an ancient empire to its knees?
It is clear author Iain King is familiar with the geography
of the Middle East and zips the reader along desert roads to ancient Roman
ruins in Iraq, as well as into Turkey, to the heart of New York City and into
the centre of modern Rome and its ancient ruins.
The reader of this thriller will be racing with Myles Munro
to try to figure out what the terrorists have planned. What brought down the
powerful ancient Roman Empire—can the same thing happen, or be forced upon, the
modern United States?
An engaging read!
