SciFi Book Review: The Plague Forge

The Plague Forge by Jason M Hough

Synopsis:
The hunt is on for the mysterious keys left by the alien Builders. While Skyler’s team of immune scavengers scatters around the disease-ravaged globe in search of the artifacts, Skyler himself finds much more than he expected in the African desert, where he stumbles upon surprising Builder relics—and thousands of bloodthirsty subhumans. From the slums and fortresses of Darwin to the jungles of Brazil and beyond, Skyler and company are in for a wild ride, jam-packed with daunting challenges, run-and-gun adventure, and unexpected betrayals—all in a race against time to finally answer the great questions that have plagued humanity for decades: Who are the Builders, and what do they want with Earth?

Review:
Skyler and his team must split up to recover the remaining “keys” and unlock the secrets behind the Builders in this exciting finale. And they face countless, violent subhumans along the way. Meanwhile, Sam’s adventure is the most thrilling as she has to infiltrate a religious cult to get at the last of the keys. This is certainly the most fast-paced and action-packed of the three novels. The climactic ending was satisfying and unpredictable. With engaging characters and an exciting plot, The Plague Forge kept me on the edge of my seat till the very end.
