The Doomsday Medallion: A VansOp Thriller by Author Avanti Centrae – Book Review

Know thyself, know others. You’re a soul and so are others.

A deadly prediction spells danger for its teller, and so the countdown begins. Brother and sister are assigned to protect the prophet, but can they concentrate on the matter at hand as their emotions threaten to tear them apart?

Now the prophet has been kidnapped, only clues to her whereabouts remain.

The author weaves a clever novel of intrigue, mystery and adventure in Doomsday Medallion. It is the perfect story for fans of Dan Brown and Matthew Reilly, as it has the power to transport the reader to distant tropical lands, plains, teeming with mystery.

The characters are engaging and bursting with vitality. A finely embroidered tale, mixing fact, philosophy and non-stop action. I loved it and so I award the novel 5 stars.
