Review: The Seventh Plague by James Rollins

Quite an intense, globe-spanning adventure!  A strange plague is unleashed by a man seeking to stop it.  The microbes feed on electrical current and the plague harks back to the plagues of Egypt.  Steeping in history, cultures, animal society and science, the twists come fast and furious as the fast paced story unfolds.  I particularly loved the elephants. :)

Sometimes it felt hard to keep up with the science part -- throw in a dangerous man who idolizes the theories of Nicola Tesla and is planning to use the microbes in a way to make free energy for all.  Best intentions gone horribly wrong.  

It is like fitting the pieces of a puzzle together while running at top speed.
