Still in the 14^th century, with the back drop of the black plague, he and his trusted party must find an cure for the Mortecarni, the undead monsters who crave the flesh of living souls before they overwhelm society.

Bolstered by the remarkable save of his sister and the strange plant and herbs his friend Fala had gathered during his travels, they are able to zero in on a specific plant. Research has the trio of friends make the treacherous journey across medieval Europe to the mountains of Poland.

What they find there will either save them or curse mankind forever.

Once again, Ms. Evans brings history alive in this exciting tale of horror, sacrifice and hope. She blends fact and fiction into a thrilling and horrifying story that threatens to tear out your throat and feast on you living flesh. A groan in the dark of night is the only warning that the horde is upon you.

Demon Crown by James rollins

 Rollins Delivers!

A bitter foe of the Sigma team releases a prehistoric horde of Jurassic wasps on the Island of Hawaii. Evolved to do battle with dinosaurs, mankind is not protected to fight these monster killing machines. While one team deals with the horror at ground zero, another Sigma team follows a trail of clues that goes back to the founder of the Smithsonian Institute, James Smithson and the secret geological find he made during the Civil War times in Europe.

AS with most of Mr. Rollins tales, he weaves high-tech science with modern history to develop a story that belies the truth. Rather than leaving the reader hanging though, he reveals what is fact and what is fiction. Quite often, this is the most surprising and horrifying part of the book.

If you are a fan of Jurassic Park and Michael Crichton, you’ll love this tale and all of Rollins other stories.
