With the creation of an unholy beast comes the end of the world in this diabolical thriller from the international bestselling author of Crux and Hunter.   On an Icelandic Island, an illegal experiment intended to create the perfect biological weapon has transformed a once-innocent creature into the biblical Leviathan that once terrorized the world. Able to shatter steel and granite as easily as it can melt the strongest containment shields, Leviathan escapes from its pen and is loose in a vast underground chamber harboring soldiers and scientists.   The installation cannot allow Leviathan to reach the surface. For if Leviathan reaches the world, it could well be the end of the Earth. They must hold the line, here, and destroy it . . . even if they must detonate a last-chance nuclear failsafe built into the chamber itself. But, first, they must fight with every weapon at their disposal to discover if the beast can be killed at all. It is a battle many will not survive. As soldiers and scientists are vaporized by Leviathan's hellish flame, or ripped apart by the dragon's claws and fangs, a lone electrical engineer is forced to join the fight. And in the midst of what might well be the last battle for Mankind, Connor must find a way--any way--to save his family and kill this powerful, bloodthirsty Beast of Legend that has never been killed before. Before it feasts upon the world. Praise for James Byron Huggins   "Huggins writes like a man possessed."--Steve Jackson, New York Times bestselling author   "May be the thriller of the year."--BookPage on Cain   "Pure entertainment."--Publishers Weekly on Hunter… (mais)

This book was really good, but I felt exhausted when I was finally done reading it. I was so into this book that I felt like I was the one down in the cavern being chased over, and over, and over, and over again! It was a little unbelievable that Conner and Thor lasted as long as they did. Any normal person would have given up (or died) a long time ago... ( )

Een idealistische man gaat de strijd aan met een onbeheersbaar, onoverwinnelijk geacht androïde robotwapen dat is ontwikkeld vanuit het bijbelse Leviathan-verhaal. Hoofdthema's: gewetenloos gebruik van wetenschappelijke en genetische technieken en de oude strijd tussen goed en kwaad. Chronologisch, wat uitgesponnen, redelijk spannend verhaal, balancerend tussen sf en thriller, licht christelijk getint. Aanvaardbare karaktertekeningen. Populaire verteltrant, matig gevarieerde, soms pathetische woordkeus en levendige dialogen. Gebruik van technische computertaal, cyberspace en virtual reality verminderen de begrijpelijkheid van het in feite eenvoudige strijdverhaal niet. Gesitueerd op een eiland nabij de Noordpool, met onwaarschijnlijke omgevingstekening (dichtbebost, herten, vossen). Vrij goede vertaling. Voorplat: grote titel onder dreigende, bemoste rotspunt. Normale druk.
(Biblion recensie, A. van den Berg-Brandt.)
