This novel centers around a force that is unwittingly unleashed on the world via a archaelogical dig. This force has the ability to possess certain hosts and reduce anything in it's path to cinders. What exactly this being is unfortunately is never explained at all. It is one one of the major downfalls of this book.

After the force is unleashed it makes a journey via boat to a town in PA where it finds a more permanent host and things get more interesting. This small town in PA has a interesting past all it's own that ties in with the entity but why is another reason not explained. There also is apparently a love story here that is not neccessary and just make's the story seem more muddled.

All this being said it is a decent book. The characters are well developed and you'll find yourself genuinely caring about them and what happens. The story is also fast paced and has a very crisp style.I did enjoy it for the most part but in the long run it is nothing too special and there are much better books out there that i would reccommend.
