The Pandora Room by Christopher Golden – 5 Stars
Publisher: St.
Martin ’s Press
ISBN: 9781250192103
The Pandora Room has
all the elements of a scary horror adventure. The setting is a dark
claustrophobic cave system where a deadly plague with evil phantoms leaks from
a jar. Seeking the jar are nasty ISIS
replacement soldiers who want to use it as a weapon. And what’s a tale without
ancient mythology as background? There are characters that heroically fight to
protect the jar and survive against overwhelming odds.
This is the second book with Ben
Walker as the main character, but is fine as a stand-alone novel. The
relationship between Ben and Kim introduced in the first book is sufficiently
covered in this book.
There is tension throughout.
Overused comments like “wild ride” and “can’t put down” come to mind to
describe its intensity – and all both true. I have not read anything by
Christopher Golden in a few years, but will return to read Arafat and other books I have missed.
