The Chosen Seed by Sarah Pinborough
Nov. 29th, 2012 10:09 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
His nephew has been kidnapped and Detective Inspector Cass Jones has been framed for murder. He’s on the run, being hunted by former colleagues, and is unwelcome wherever he goes … until he gets help from a very unexpected figure from his past.
Detectives Hask and Ramsey are on a different case – searching for the killer behind the lethal Strain II virus currently sweeping its way through London, a search which throws up an unexpected clue. Cass might be innocent of murder after all. But when they’re ordered not to investigate further, they realise the mystery is far greater than they thought.
Somehow everything is linked to Mr Bright, and to the manipulative Network which works from the shadows. A rift is growing between these rival factions as Strain II takes a firmer hold on the city, and as the Interventionists warn of a final battle which will bring them all together – or, once and for all, tear everything apart.
Cass Jones is going up against The Bank and its sinister employees one last time. He needs every ally he can get, and this time he means to find answers – even if he has to uncover the true history of humanity to do it. And the more he learns, the more he finds that everything hinges on finding his nephew.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The conclusion to Sarah Pinborough’s dark and gripping DOG-FACED GODS TRILOGY is a satisfying read that neatly ties up the loose ends without losing the moral ambiguity that lies at its core. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this horror trilogy and I really look forward to reading Sarah Pinborough’s next work.
