The Lazarus Vector by Erica Obey
4.0
What an unusual book. It was like Michael Crichton and Dan Brown tried to have a book baby. I did enjoy it. I was kind of hoping for more supernatural/miraculous explanations to some of what was going on but it turned out to be just plain old greed, government overstep and abuses of human rights. I really liked the whole cast of characters and it really wasn't just Clare and Sean/Michael's story; everyone else's drama was pulled right in.
I also learned a lot with this book so now I have a bunch of new words to confuse my friends and family, like Angelophany and Simony. I love how a character will just use one of them in a sentence and everyone else just knows what it means. And I now I know the story of Abelard and Heloise. What is worse, having your balls chopped off, being force to burn your own manuscript (which you probably don't have a copy of because you wrote it on animal skin most likely), or being told by a man to go live in a convent for the rest of your life for no reason?
