Caught the latest episode of JC Hutchins 7th Son trilogy on the way to work this morning and it was another ripper.
The episode opens with Father Thomas on the train (and no mention of the person behind him) and as he enters the next carriage he finds a grim sight, six brutally murdered passengers, and on General Hill’s urging he searches the bodies and realises that they are the Secret Service personal assigned to protect the President, so Thomas is on his own, so he arms himself an moves on through the train.
Next we head over the UN and the Marines have been ordered to withdraw for debriefing, also the one to blow up the line are to be withdrawn. Major Bennett also refuses to take the Clones with him.
Catching back up with Thomas again he moves on to the last car, the remaining cars were empty, as he enters the car it contains the delegates and the President. They are shell shocked and stunned looking defeated and beaten. There is no sign of Alpha and the Secretary General tells him Ghosts have attacked, and then two vapourware wearing Devlin’s attack Thomas.
Back in the Assembly Hall Jack, Killroy 2.0 and John contact General Hill and Hannah Vinnj listens in trying to get to the bottom of the situation, NSA agents are outside which she hasn’t authorised access to just yet. Is code phantom real, are they really clones, she can not decide.
There is a fantastic fight scene and this is transmitted to General Hill and the Clones with Vinnj listening on. Eventually Thomas stuns one, and then in the confusion President Hale shots the final Devlin. It is revealed through the fight that the train contains a Nuke, and Alpha is not on board…
Another drama filled episode, the commute from work flew by. I can’t see how Thomas gets out, but I assume he is going to rescue President Hale, but JC is not adverse to killing off his clones so we wait and see, next Wednesday can not come quickly enough.
