The Third Instinct (Dan Clifford 2) by Kent Lester

 Action-packed sequel full of science, history, and moral/ethical dilemma is fast and fun.


This follow-up to THE SEVENTH SUN takes prediction scientist Dan Clifford and his girlfriend, Rachel Sullivan, to a new threat involving ancient, secret societies and the scary organism known as the Devil's Paradox. You will want to read the first book before opening this one. Full of realistic technology, conspiracy theories, political corruption, DNA hacking gone amuck, and all sorts of other interesting details, the story is a thriller as well as an adventure. There's even a bit of romance and the characters are unlikely, reluctant heroes who do their best to save the world. A bit of social commentary lends credence and believability to the narrative.


I enjoyed both books very much and recommend you read them back to back if possible. I like the writing style and the pacing that made this hard to put down. I'd love to see a film adaptation.


Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge for the e-book to read, review, and recommend.

This is the second in a series so be sure to read the first one prior to starting this.

Genre - thriller, historical, science, technology
