Review: THE SEVENTH SUN by Ken Lester


5 Speculative Stars 


As we endure the Coronavirus Pandemic,  I am impelled to read novels and nonfiction about Plague events,  pandemics,  and wildly mutating evolution.  Whether or not Coronavirus is a "black swan event," I found THE SEVENTH SUN  (a reference to the ancients' view of the final Extinction Event) highly apropos.  With a protagonist of high moral integrity and an adrenaline-driven, near-fearless, female evolutionary scientist, this tale of rampant conspiracy, genetic manipulation,  corporate greed, governmental emptyheadedness, seems very real and tremendously up-to-date now that we seldom can predict what even the next day might bring.
