They quickly discover themselves engulfed in a quagmire of voodoo glazed zombie-like natives overpowering their bus. In an try to thrust back the hazardous onslaught of the natives attacking the bus, they throw meals and provides out of the home windows of the bus to distract the group permitting them to flee.

Rod Nave writes splendidly, and creates a novel that reads like a screenplay for a very scary film. He cleverly contemporized his novel with a really latest occasion – the January twelfth 2010 earthquake in Haiti, a mere 5 months previous to the time of this overview. His use of dialog and character improvement is superior. He creates a reputable group of characters inside plausible circumstances, even with the sobering actuality of getting a cellphone out there. He takes what’s at first a predictable improvement of conditions and does masterful plot twists and surprises, spiraling the reader right into a dizzying world of blood saturated voodoo spells, Satan worshiping, Christian rituals and the penetrating sinister blue eyes of The Pagan. Cautious, “Do not drop the clay statue,” you would not need to see what occurs in case you crack its shell and unleash what’s inside. “Lookout! Oh no… Oh my God!”
