The Doomsday Medallion by Avanti Centrae

 

What does the future have in store for us?

That’s pretty much the million or should I say billion dollar question that haunts not just us mere mortals but political leaders around the world.

Over the years many have attempted to predict the future, the most famous among them being Nostradamus with many of his predictions coming true.

It is often said that he who knows the future ‘controls’ the world.

How far and to what depths would you go?

The Doomsday Medallion by Avanti Centrae is a spine chilling historical adventure that takes you across the world. It is literally a gasp from the past.

The book trails the adventures of twins Will and Maddy, covert operatives working for the mysterious Van Ops Agency as they try to stop a military takeover in the South China Sea.

The world is in shock as this unprecedented war has been predicted by a 16 year old girl, Avril.

As the brother-sister duo and enemy factions’ race across the world to find the girl who can predict the future, one question is hot on every one’s lips.

How did she do it? Is she the real deal?

As the discovery of her lineage comes out, all hands point to Avril being the real deal.

The twins and their team are in a race against time as they try to decipher Nostradamus’s clues to the location of a bronze medallion that might hold the ‘power of prophecy’. A prophecy that could start or stop a war.

Rib-smashing action, cryptic clues and lots of ‘masala’ as we in India would call it; make this book an absolute delight. Avanti’s writing style has you hooked from the first word in. The research into the life of Nostradamus is extensive and keeps you hooked and spellbound. The third in the Van Ops series, this book can be read as a standalone as well. A fair warning-though, it will entice you to read the other two books in the series too. I can’t wait to get my hands on them.

Perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Matthew Reilly and Andy McDermott (Like me). The film buff in me thinks this will make a great screen adaptation as well.

So glad I got this RC it was an absolutely adventurous roller-coaster ride. Hope you liked my fair and honest review.

Happy Reading☺
