The Genes of Isis

by Justin Newland

Akasha is a precocious girl, born into a world where oceans circulate in the sky waters. She dreams of releasing the Surge, the next evolutionary step for an embryonic human race. But it's dormant, trapped inside every human. Horque is a Solarii, a tribe of angels who've manifested in human form and settled in ancient Egypt. Desperate to return home, they must first undo the devastation caused by the Helios, another tribe of angels who came to Earth to deliver the Surge and instead left humanity on the brink of extinction and sired a race of interspecies monsters: the hybrids. When Akasha foretells the falling of the sky waters and falls in love with Horque, her life becomes an instrument for apocalyptic change.

[zooloo1983]

this is not the sort of book I would normally read…which is exactly why I went for it. I wanted to get out my comfort zone, and once I had peace and quiet in the house and could concentrate I am glad that I did. I am intrigued by the Egyptians as I will devour anything to do with Greek Mythology I wanted to see if it would be the same here.

Well I was not disappointed like I said I had to concentrate but once I got in the flow, I wanted to learn all I could about the divide between the hybrids, Solarii and humans and to learn more the astral plane that was being discussed

I absolutely loved that the chapter titles were all included in the body of the chapter, I kept looking out for it when reading and the chapters were all short and snappy so it was easy to speed through this book.

The vivid imagery used by the author, had me picturing the events perfectly. The dust storms, in the beginning, I felt I could actually be there experiencing it, trying to keep the dust off me!

With the multiple points of views in the different chapters gave the reading of this mythology a whole new reading experience, one I thoroughly enjoyed. I am sure that some historians would pick holes in the story, and I do not know how much of this is factual (ignoring some of the glaringly obvious bits) but I read this at face value and ignored the legends (and google!).

If you want to know if anyone survived the apocalypse then you need to open to page one and begin the adventure.
