NOW HE IS THEIR GREATEST NIGHTMARE Grotesquely transformed, Cain has become the ultimate predator: a killing machine with the soul of a devil. And the only force that can stop him is a trio of flawed people: a soldier who lost his family and his soul to a terrorist’s bullets, a priest who has lost his faith to the power of sin, and the beautiful scientist who created Cain and then lost control of him. Now, in a ten-day countdown to Armageddon, all they have left to lose is the survival of the human race.

Cain is a superhuman/ rebuilt human being. One scientist with the backing of the US Army decides to create a super soldier. But there is something wrong. He has been injected with one of the deadliest viruses known to man - yet his body does not react to the poison. The army wanted the ultimate weapon. What they got was pure evil. It will be left to one person to deal with the destruction that has been unleashed...
Interesting read, and one that will keep you enthralled from the first page. This was my first book from James Huggins, but I will definitely look into more!
Thank you to Adam at WildBlue Press for the E-copy of the book!
On some other day this might have rated higher but I was so not in the mood for the religion vs science debate over a Frankenstein monster rampaging through the country. Especially when the science is downright poor and religion... well the less said the better. Still I felt the writing was pretty decent in places and the character building well handled. So 2 stars seems just about right!
