The Final Equinox by Andrew Mayne

5.0

Andrew Mayne has done it once again with The Final Equinox! It is the second book of the Theo Cray and Jessica Blackwood Thriller series. I was hooked by the unique premise of the prospect of receiving a signal from outer space. Theo, who has a background in computational biology, is a sceptic, and it is a delight to see how this character deciphers problems and challenges. Bring Jessica Blackwood, an FBI agent, into the mix, and it's pure magic. Split into seven parts; it follows both protagonists as they unveil the secrets of the mysterious billionaire Thomas T. Theismann and the murder of another academic at the lab. Andrew Mayne delivers specialist knowledge in simple terms and celebrates science, logic, and witty dialogue. The ending was brilliant, and it was a pleasure reading this author's work. If you are into outer space, biology, computer science and archeology, do not miss this! As this is a stand-alone, you can read this book first, but I strongly suggest reading the first one to understand the protagonists better. A 5-star read!
