Suspend belief all ye who enter here. That being said, you may now relax and enjoy the ride, this is pure entertainment. I am still disturbed as I believe I may have mentioned in the first book's review about the destruction of valuable religious artifacts, it just seems not right.... ( )

Havoc by Carolyn McCray is the follow up to "30 Pieces of Silver". The story continues to follow the adventures of Dr Rebecca Monroe and her soldier hero Brandt. Another religious historical chase is on as the intrepid group now searches for the tablets given to biological threat that could very well decimate the world's food supply. I didn't like this as much as the first book in the Betrayed series. Some parts were wonderful, such as the reintroduction of a character or two believed killed in the first book. However the search for the tablets seems almost an understory to the ongoing challenges the group overcomes as they are pursued by a new group of religious fanatics. Still well worth the read as McCray once again pulls a great surprise at the end. I hope she will pick up more of the tablet story in a follow up book. I think there can be more here than has already been told. If you like fiction about religious history and are not easily offended you will enjoy the stories. If however you are easily disturbed by challenges to accepted religious beliefs these are not the books for you. ( )
